      Pros

      Working part time 18 hours a week qualifies employees to incredible benefits. This in and of itself is a reason to work at Trader Joe's. I enjoyed trying new food and wine products as part of the job- a great way to increase product knowledge and learn about variety of foods and wine.

      Cons

      The job is very physically demanding. The pay is not great. Employees are not treated evenly. I worked under one store manager, and felt the wrath of a lot of transparent favoritism. Resentment and tension builds between employee interactions because of the favoritism. This can be true in any work place, but the "feel good" company vibe Trader Joe's corporate tries to advertise should really enforce fair managing among store managers.

      Pros

      -Great way to meet people, socialize, and learn customer service -Always tasked with different things every hour -Friendly crew who will always help you to learn and get better at your job -Get a slight pay raise every 6 months -No outside commitments and amazing benefits if you work full time (about 28 hours a week for every 6 months) -Will take time, but find your friend group, stay with them and have fun, you can't please everybody -Care for your body, do not overdo it with physical labor, its a retail job and you only have one fragile body for yourself, get help or insist about your pains

      Cons

      -Not many, unless you are stuck in a bad store with bad management -I had some good luck of working in 3 great stores, so YMMV -Sometimes can get cliquey like you are back in high school -Getting promoted up to store management may involve buttering up and being a "yes-person" -Care for your body, do not overdo it with physical labor, its a retail job and you only have one fragile body for yourself, get help or insist about your pains
