Business Outlook
Pros
Decent pay, Discount on groceries. Quality products. Managers seem to well chosen and generally fair. The way responsibilities rotate hourly is a plus and keeps employees more engaged instead of always just stocking, or cashiering or cleaning like other retail grocery chains I've worked at. The customers are generally friendly and appreciate having Trader Joes in their community which is pleasant.
Cons
The job is very physically demanding and can be dangerous at times due to the tight timeframe shelves must be stocked in, particularly before the store opens. No health insurance for part time workers, only for those averaging 30 hours or more for 6 straight months which seems only to be given to those with more seniority.
