Costco is once again making headlines for all the right reasons as one of its long-tenured, hourly wage employees is able to retire a millionaire.
The Wall Street Journal just ran a piece on Tony Barzar, a 60-year-old worker assigned to the self-checkout area who has worked for Costco since 1986. The outlet noted that Barzar earns $32.90 an hour and that holdings in his 401(k) have boosted his retirement savings to over $1 million. It’s all indicative of how Costco focuses on retaining high-quality employees and paying them well, which in turn leads to better experiences for both customers and workers.
