      Pros

      Trader Joes is recession proof. No matter the state of the economy .... Trader Joes excels. As a matter of fact, a bad economy only helps Trader Joes ... as customers are watching their pennies and looking for a great value for their money. If you work hard, you will get paid accordingly. Some current and former crew members say management has "favorites". The people complaining about this are usually the slackers, with attitude problems, who just don't care and try to get by by doing the minimum. Like I said, work hard and you will be a "favorite". Like it should be.

      Cons

      Physically demanding. So if you are out of shape and do not like hard work, please apply somewhere else.

      Pros

      You get to do a lot and are not stuck in one task. The benefits are amazing. The people they hire are almost always knowledgeable and friendly.

      Cons

      The job is labor intensive and you are on your feet the whole time.

      Pros

      Pay and benefits and 401 plan.

      Cons

      Inconsistency with all levels of management.Some are ok at best,while others are horrible. Very rarely is there one that actually meets the standards of their income and title.Some in upper management really have absolutely no idea how the store runs day to day,often relying on others below them to make it all happen.When problems mount up over time,they are just transferred to another store and the cycle starts all over again....Of course work schedules in retail are terrible.Can be even worse at TJ's.Almost impossible to keep their employees healthy with such demanding work hours.Despite all this..I still work here.Shows how bad the economy is these days.
