Industry-Leading Pay and the Employee Philosophy

Costco famously pays the highest wages in retail and has an 8% turnover rate (vs. 60%+ industry average). This module covers the new $20/hour minimum, $31.90 average wage, the 2025-2027 union contract, the Sinegal "treat employees well" philosophy, and how to talk about Costco's employee culture in a way that signals genuine understanding rather than rehearsed flattery.
