Pros

Good Strong company to work for, pay is good for the job asked of you. I see growing pains, I also see a lot of opportunity if one is willing to work hard and wait.

Cons

They need a better management training program. I work with so many managers that maybe hard workers, but have no idea how to develop people, work through people, and work to build future leaders for Trader Joe's. A company biggest assist is there people, I think as Trader Joe's continues to grow in the market place, it should take a good look at what is going on in side the stores. Trader Joe's have to figure out how to develop, identify and recruit better leaders.

Pros

The benefits are incredible. Food's good. Tastings are awesome. Easy to transfer between stores. And the uniform is stylin' (Ha).

Cons

Some of my coworkers seriously lack a good work ethic. And some full-timers at my store lack effective management skills.
