  • 0:00 - 0:03
    (upbeat music)
  • 0:08 - 0:10
    - Costco culture to me
    means giving everything
  • 0:10 - 0:13
    back to the member that we possibly can.
  • 0:13 - 0:16
    - To me, Costco culture is all
    about doing the right thing.
  • 0:16 - 0:18
    - I think about fairness and transparency
  • 0:18 - 0:20
    in all aspects of our business.
  • 0:20 - 0:23
    (upbeat music)
  • 0:23 - 0:25
    - Two things come to mind
    when I hear Costco culture,
  • 0:25 - 0:28
    respect and security.
  • 0:28 - 0:30
    Security because the company
    takes care of its employees
  • 0:30 - 0:32
    and we all feel very safe on our jobs
  • 0:32 - 0:34
    as long as we do our jobs,
  • 0:34 - 0:38
    and respect for us as
    individuals and us as a group.
  • 0:38 - 0:39
    - I get excited when I know
  • 0:39 - 0:41
    I have to get up in the
    morning to come to work.
  • 0:41 - 0:44
    - Culture is a way of life
    for a group of people.
  • 0:44 - 0:46
    Since I came to this country
  • 0:46 - 0:49
    I worked for big corporations
    and companies before,
  • 0:49 - 0:52
    but when I came to Costco
    I see the difference.
  • 0:52 - 0:55
    The difference is how much
    Costco cares about employees.
  • 0:55 - 0:58
    - To me, Costco culture
    makes us who we are.
  • 0:58 - 1:00
    It's what makes Costco different
    from any other company.
  • 1:00 - 1:04
    - Costco changed my life and my family,
  • 1:04 - 1:07
    and I'm very proud to work in Costco.
  • 1:07 - 1:08
    - Costco is everything.
  • 1:08 - 1:11
    We do everything the
    right way, the Costco way.
  • 1:11 - 1:14
    - Costco being what it
    is, a great company.
  • 1:14 - 1:17
    It tells you to do the
    things on a great basis.
  • 1:17 - 1:20
    - Everything, because
    Costco changed my life
  • 1:20 - 1:22
    and give me opportunity
  • 1:22 - 1:26
    the things that we don't
    have in another company,

    only in Costco.
  • 1:28 - 1:32
    - Growing as a professional, I'm young.
  • 1:32 - 1:34

  • 1:35 - 1:36
    - Member service and quality.
  • 1:36 - 1:39
    It's what we do and how we do it.
  • 1:39 - 1:41
    - To me, Costco is a family.
  • 1:41 - 1:43
    I've never met so many people
  • 1:43 - 1:46
    that care about you at your workplace.
  • 1:46 - 1:49
    I've seen so many people
  • 1:49 - 1:51
    helped out by their fellow employees
  • 1:51 - 1:54
    that I just love the family values,
  • 1:54 - 1:57
    and the family atmosphere at Costco.
  • 1:57 - 1:58
    - In one word?
  • 1:58 - 1:59
    Cheese.
  • 1:59 - 2:00
    For my family,
  • 2:00 - 2:04
    Buying one block of
    Tillamook cheese once a month
  • 2:04 - 2:06
    saves me 60 bucks a year.
  • 2:06 - 2:09
    That's culture to me.
  • 2:09 - 2:10
    - The quality of our products,
  • 2:10 - 2:13
    the trust in our products for our members,
  • 2:13 - 2:15
    and our outstanding pricing.
