Why the interviewer is asking this question: The interviewer is asking to align expectations for the role with your long-term expectations. While interviewers typically want solid alignment on near term (i.e. under 5 years) expectations, more latitude can and will be given for longer term goals.
If they don't want to give benefits to stocker and cashiers they should have part time hours and paid $17.50 per hour no benefits. Also how many teenagers would like a parttime job from 3 pm until 7pm and maybe get the pay they give their cashiers $8 -9 an hour.
The average hourly wage for cashiers at Sam's Club is slightly higher at $9.36 per hour. Target cashiers average $8.18. Of course, that doesn't mean Costco employees are being paid like they work at a company like Facebook or Microsoft.The average hourly wage is around $21. That's not a lot considering that Facebook interns can make double what the average hourly worker at Costco makes in a month, assuming a 40 hour work week.f you're working as a cashier, you want to work at one of the few retail stores in the U.S. where all of those perks are available. Your satisfaction is higher when you know the alternative. For Facebook employees, perks are the rule, at their company and at competitors in Silicon Valley, not the exception.
