Electronics/Majors Sales Assistant – Costco – Kitchener, ON

Costco’s Kitchener warehouse on King Street East is looking for an Electronics/Majors Sales Assistant to join their team. This floor-level sales role puts you right at the centre of the action — working across major appliances, jewellery, and electronics to help members find what they need and make informed purchases.

Day to day, you’ll be engaging with members, demonstrating products, and keeping your department looking sharp. It’s a role that blends customer service with genuine product knowledge — and Costco actively encourages you to stay current with the latest tech and trends.

About the Role: Electronics/Majors Sales Assistant

As an Electronics/Majors Sales Assistant, you’ll be the go-to person for members browsing everything from televisions and laptops to large appliances. Your job is to guide members through their options, answer their questions clearly, and help them load their selections onto their carts. You’ll also keep the department stocked, clean, and merchandised to Costco’s high standards.

Beyond member-facing duties, you’ll stay informed on industry trends and product specifications by reading trade publications and experimenting with products firsthand. You’ll also liaise with the Area Manager on pricing, promotions, and stock levels, and handle tasks like checking returns, managing signage accuracy, and organizing the security lock-up area.

Benefits and Salary

This position pays $20.00 per hour. Costco is well known in Canada for offering competitive wages and a solid range of employee benefits, which typically include health and dental coverage, paid time off, and access to member pricing — though specific benefit details should be confirmed during the hiring process.
