Pros

If you are looking for a paycheck it's a great company. if you are looking for a career... you might want to look elsewhere. The pay is great in this economy but they also know they must pay well because most of the job expectations are extremely high. It's a great job for a work horse and they know it and pay accordingly!

Cons

It is very hard work, there are a lot of politics... it's a very "good ol' boys" type of management system. But then again most companies are... they try to set themselves apart by buiilding/ branding with the neighborhood them but when the day is done they are a company just like any other.

Trader Joe's is a great place to work

Pros

They offer flexible hours which is especially helpful if you are a student. They offer top rated benefits which include health, pharmacy, vision and dental coverage. The employee share of the health insurance premium is minimal. They also give you an amount which equals 3-5% (depending on your years of service) in an account for you to draw on for paid days off. Each year the company deposits 15.4% of your gross salary into a retirement account.

Cons

Working weekends is a requirement. Hours can vary. Having an unpredictable schedule from week to week makes it hard to have a normal life.
