Pros

The discount is pretty good. Availability of unique food items is nice.

Cons

The leadership in the store is abysmal. There are numerous examples of retaliation that goes unchecked and even when these issues are brought up to Corporate or C-Level upper management, nothing gets fixed. No investigation. No resolution, just MORE RETALIATION. Trader Joe's is a joke. I've never been a fan of unions, but it's starting to make sense why so many stores are voting for them. Currently, looking into a union for this store. And I say again - I've never thought of joining a union until this someone got transferred here. If you're a union rep reading this post, please come by Store 195 Location there would be plenty of people to talk to. They are unhinged at this location. It would be wise to demote this person down to and let them try harder to be a better human.

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
