Working as a Stocker at Costco is about more than just moving boxes; it is about maintaining the “treasure hunt” experience our members love.

This is a high-energy, physically active role that is essential to our high-volume business model.

• Member Service: Acting as a resource on the floor to help members locate items and providing a friendly, helpful shopping atmosphere.

• Safety & Standards: Opening crates, removing shrink wrap, and ensuring all displays meet Costco’s strict safety and presentation guidelines.

Costco is famous for its “people-first” culture. We offer one of the most comprehensive benefit packages in the retail industry for eligible employees:

• Health & Wellness: Comprehensive Medical, Dental, Vision, Hearing Aid, Pharmacy, and Behavioral Health coverage.

• Financial Security: 401(k) retirement plan, Stock Purchase Plan, and Life Insurance.

The Warehouse Operations Cycle

The Stocker role is the engine of our inventory flow. Because Costco moves inventory faster than almost any other retailer, the stocking process is precise.

1. Receiving: High-volume shipments arrive at the dock and are organized by department.

2. The “Morning Push”: Most heavy stocking occurs before the warehouse opens, utilizing forklifts to move full pallets.

3. Zoning & Facing: Throughout the day, Stockers “face” the merchandise—moving products to the front of the pallet to make them easily accessible.

4. Aisle Maintenance: Constant clearing of cardboard and plastic wrap to keep the high-traffic aisles safe for member carts.
