      Trader Joe's reviews

      Great benefits, but very clique-ish. - Crew Member Trader Joe's Employee Review

      Pros

      TJ's provides great benefits, which includes vision and dental (with orthodontia!) for those working 20 hours or more. The scheduler was also very good about letting me take time off as long as I let him know at least 2-3 weeks in advance. Being able to trade shifts was also a plus.

      Cons

      There were some mean and standoffish managers and employees. One particular manager was fond of ridiculing people and attempted to mask it in a sing-song way or a smile. Favoritism was very also obvious. Training wasn't very structured or thorough. You basically have to tell them you don't know how to do X or wait until they assign you to do X to realize you still need to be trained for it.

      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
