I'm currently feeling pretty frustrated in my framing job where I work with a wealthy clientele who can be quite unbearable. The person in charge is also contributing to a toxic environment, and I'm seriously considering a change. I used to work at Hobby Lobby from 2018 to 2024, where I held various roles including frame shop management, and I was making around $25/hr. I gave up three weeks of vacation for this job, which has turned out to be a poor decision since I enjoy traveling. I recently visited a Costco in Traverse City, MI, and was impressed by the happy employees and the pay, which I hear can start at $29/hr or more. However, I know that starting pay can vary based on experience and position. I'm curious if Costco really lives up to its reputation as a great place to work, especially since I'm hesitant to leave my current job without a solid guarantee of a better work environment and pay. I've heard mixed reviews about working at Costco, with some saying the benefits and raises are great, while others mention the physical demands of the job. I'm looking for insights on whether it's worth making the switch, as I left retail for a reason and want to ensure my next move is a positive one for my mental health.
