Pros

Trader Joe's offers a really interesting work environment. Employees are encouraged to take whatever time they need to talk to and help customers. This creates a great atmosphere for the shoppers as they can get easy help with anything they need. Crew members tend to be pretty happy with their job because the pay is great for what you are doing. I made some of my best friends from working here and I would highly recommend to anyone interested!

Cons

In order to move up in the company, you have to be willing to sell out a little bit. You have to kiss some booty every now and then.

Pros

This company really does care about its employees. There's a reason why people make a career out of their time here. It is the most fun job I've ever had. They hire amazing, hardworking people with great personalities. Management is always willing to help. Theres fun tastings of new products all the time. Customers are generally always in a good mood. The job is physically demanding, but I am in the best shape of my life lol. They schedule you to change what you're doing every hour, so the 8-hour day goes by fast.

Cons

They can definitely play favorites. The same people get the shifts that they want, and when you first start, you can get stuck closing for quite some time.
