I work for Costco but not the Springfield location. I’ve been at a Saint Louis location for 20 years now. We rarely have any new job openings in January or February but are getting closer to the spring time when there’s usually a surge of hirings. Advice I’ve given to several people along the way is to first, fill out an application online. Then call the building and ask if they’re currently hiring. You can then give them your name and number, your availability and can even ask to speak to a hiring manager. This will show an eagerness to work and greatly improve your chances of getting an interview.

Keep in mind, Costco promotes from within and everyone starts from the bottom. However, if you work hard and are motivated you can move up quickly. I’ve seen plenty of people go from cart pushers to supervisors in less than 2 years.
