I watched a news investigation about Costco one day and I was really impressed with the company overall. The founder still answers his own phone. He works off of a folding table. The company has the lowest churn rate in their field. The owner personally visits multiple stores a day in different states. He wears a name tag like the rest of the employees. I think I remember them saying the salary was double what Sam's Club provided and they did provide generous benefits.
