      Pros

      The atmosphere inside Trader Joe's is fun and not very uptight. The customers are surprisingly good for the most part. Pay for the kind of work done is good after you have worked for the company for some time.

      Cons

      The company is starting to get more "corporate" and less decisions are being made for the direction of each individual store at the store level. Some of the store managers and regionals are great, there are a few though that are really quite bad. That would be okay, but managers and even regionals get shifted around regularly.

      Pros

      -Great way to meet people, socialize, and learn customer service -Always tasked with different things every hour -Friendly crew who will always help you to learn and get better at your job -Get a slight pay raise every 6 months -No outside commitments and amazing benefits if you work full time (about 28 hours a week for every 6 months) -Will take time, but find your friend group, stay with them and have fun, you can't please everybody -Care for your body, do not overdo it with physical labor, its a retail job and you only have one fragile body for yourself, get help or insist about your pains

      Cons

      -Not many, unless you are stuck in a bad store with bad management -I had some good luck of working in 3 great stores, so YMMV -Sometimes can get cliquey like you are back in high school -Getting promoted up to store management may involve buttering up and being a "yes-person" -Care for your body, do not overdo it with physical labor, its a retail job and you only have one fragile body for yourself, get help or insist about your pains
