      Pros

      Trader Joe's benefits package is outstanding, even for part timers. Trader Joe's offers health insurance to employees who work at least 20 hours a week. It was also a fun place to work. Employees also get a 10 percent discount and time to shop .

      Cons

      There were some growth opportunities, but there are not enough Trader Joe's in Massachusetts making management jobs less available and I am not willing to relocate. If you can relocate, Trader Joe's has lots of stores all around the country giving you more opportunities for advancement.

      Exceptional company, exceptional energy and a product garnering loyal fans... but it's still just a grocery store.

      Pros

      Very fresh and progressive company that is focused and excellent at what it does No bureaucracy, out of touch management, or mysterious overlording headquarters stationed elsewhere.

      Cons

      While Trader Joe's may be one of he coolest supermarkets in the world, carrying unique, organic, one-of-a-kind items, with an extraordinary fan base and energy, it's still just a supermarket (not a fashion/social movement) and most people will probably find it difficult to get excited about stocking shelf after shelf over and over again for hours on end, taking out garbage, and searching through each of 6000 loaves of bread on the shelf to find the expired ones.

      Pros

      It is a great job if you are going to school. They are willing to work around your schedule.

      Cons

      You have to work weekends a lot, especially at night. It makes it a little hard if you are trying to do school and some kind of social life.
