Pros

I laugh all day long and have fun while I work. The benefits are amazing and I feel like I'm part of a family. The company does care about the employees and I can see that from the top down.

Cons

It's hard to be a single parent and want to strive for the management level but realize that I can't because the time commitment of the management hours are really tough.

Pros

Down-to-earth, hard-working, pleasant staff and company as a whole. Competitive starting pay for the industry. Eligibility for solid benefits even on a part-time basis, including free gym membership. 10% discount on groceries. Laid back work attire. Store is closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas day (often UNHEARD OF in retail).

Cons

The job can get repetitive. Weekend and night hours. Not always compatible with a "regular" schedule. As with any job, enjoyment can depend on the values of the Captain and Mates (store manager and assistant managers).

Pros

The hours were fair, although working till 11pm on weekends can be a little taxing, especially while in college. The staff and management are amazing people, very caring, and easy to get along with. Trader Joe's has an extremely positive, energetic corporate culture and it rubs off on its customers. Benefits are also a plus, and management is very accommodating of class, trips, holidays, etc.

Cons

8 hour shifts on your feet nearly the whole time can be draining.
