Pros
Crew members are great, great place to make friends. Food and wine tastings. Even managers are friendly. Seriously just a lot of great people. Mostly flexible schedule, even though they try and guilt you into not being flexible.
Cons
Trader Joe's is getting too corporate. Next to impossible to move up in the company unless you know someone. Benefits are decent, compensation is a little ridiculous. Too many negative changes. The higher store management is incompetent and only in charge because of connections with family. Upper management only cares about fake smiles, not work or common sense, which means the reviews are based on how much your cheeks hurt, not how hard or good you have worked. Upper management definitely only likes those they have hired since they came to the store, treats workers who have been there forever (a lot longer than her) like dogs.
