Pros

The crew and our development together. The customers and helping them out. The benefits are some of the best you can get anywhere.

Cons

It is sometimes difficult to have a balanced life. Expectations are fair and high. It can be challenging to complete what needs to be done in the time given.

Pros

Working part time 18 hours a week qualifies employees to incredible benefits. This in and of itself is a reason to work at Trader Joe's. I enjoyed trying new food and wine products as part of the job- a great way to increase product knowledge and learn about variety of foods and wine.

Cons

The job is very physically demanding. The pay is not great. Employees are not treated evenly. I worked under one store manager, and felt the wrath of a lot of transparent favoritism. Resentment and tension builds between employee interactions because of the favoritism. This can be true in any work place, but the "feel good" company vibe Trader Joe's corporate tries to advertise should really enforce fair managing among store managers.
