built 607 days ago
Costco's private label, Kirkland, manufactures everything from food to apparel. Kirkland products made up 16% of sales for 2006 and sales are expected to make up almost 25% over the next few years. If Kirkland continues to perform well for the next few years, Costco will most likely invest those gains back into pricing.

MissHell Customer Service Associate The lovely MissHell, from Brooklyn NY, will be joining the Costco staff for the first time. She had so much fun last year hanging out in the bar that she just knew Costco was the camp for her in 2003. An utter hellraiser at one time, she has decided to repent for her former life in organized crime by recently taking a vow of poverty as a social worker. When she is not salvaging what is left from the garden that is regularly attacked by rats and peed on by alleycats, MissHell enjoys running amok with a group of local miscreants.

This knack for seeing things in a new way ... explains Costco's approach to retaining employees as well as shoppers. Besides paying considerably more than competitors, for example, Costco contributes generously to its workers' 401(k) plans, starting with 3 percent of salary the second year and rising to 9 percent after 25 years.
