Any Costco employees???....benefits?

[mommycrawford]

My dad will be a new hire, p/t....Are there any benefits he can expect (other than being employed!?)

TIA!!!

P/T employees are eligible for benefits after 180 of employment.....P/T insurance isn't quite as good as F/T insurance, but is still excellent. Benefits are health, vision and free life insurance. I don't have the option of buying short-term disability insurance because I'm in California and must pay into the state plan. Additional life insurance can be purchased very cheaply.

I think that employees can participate in the 401k plan after the 90 day probation period.

Thank you for your info!

....Do you know if the product demo people have the same benefits as well?

Do they get store discounts??? I would love to work for Costco

Product demo people work for an outside company and are not employed by Costco....we do not get discounts, just a free membership. But it is the membership where you get 2% of most purchases back each year as a check.
