Pros

Benifits. Good student job. You can move up if you can manage to keep all the balls in the air...

Cons

Favortisism. Management prefers kiss-asses who will do their work for them. New review system for part-timers finds any reason possible to withhold raises. This change has just taken place and unfortunately puts TJ's on the same track as other big corporate grocery retails. Which is selling out employees for more profit. Their trying to sell it as a better method of reviewing employees, but it's nothing more than another move away from being an employee friendly company. Which will eventually come back to bite them in the ass just like it has Safeway... May be the begining of the end of Trader Joe's as we have known it !!!

Pros

Pay, Benefits, Retirement and the freedom to be yourself.

Cons

Central Management focus on selling the changes that need to happen versus being honest why the change needs to occur. It creates lack of trust and supports that the crew are not capable of recognizing they are trying to sell the topic.
