Pros

Some of the people are nice, customers are usually warm towards you, and you get a small discount. Coworkers are usually helpful towards each other.

Cons

Favoritism and major work place cliques. Often favored by management. If you're quiet or do not have a loud personality you will most likely get overlooked even if you work hard.

Pros

Decent medical and working poor wages... pretty standard in this area.

Cons

Like many retail establishments trader Joe's does not evaluate employees on work performance but rather your ability to brown-nose. It is what it is, standard across the board.
