Pros

fun atmosphere great fellow crew members great pay and benefits package compared to other jobs of this nature great management enjoy general atmosphere laid back and easy going free food because of product knowledge great company culture coworkers from all different backgrounds and walks of life "family' life connection with coworkers helping make peoples day better by being friendly

Cons

monotonus work- even though they try to switch it up annoying customers- but you will recieve that with any retail oriented job cart runs in the rain working in the cold box stocking soy milk being abused by customers who take advatage of the "friendly trader joes employees" rude people

Pros

Excellent work environment and team.

Cons

Might not be a con for some but the job requires you to spend a lot of time on your feet moving objects so not recommended if you have any injuries or ailments.

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
