Pros

Customers are typically very nice and the movement in the job allows you to never feel bored with what is going on. There is flexibility in scheduling unlike other jobs I've had.

Cons

I have reported several people during my time at Trader Joe's for violating my safety, personal life, and straight up bullying and there was nothing that was ever done about any of these people. Harm was being threatened on me and the man who was threatening me faced no repercussions. There is a problem at this store with physical harassment and verbal harassment. Bullying seems to be ok. Harassing someone seems to be ok. This job has left me extremely unwell and as hard as I worked, it wasn't ever enough for anyone to take my concerns or safety seriously. I would highly suggest applying to a different store or job altogether and save yourself.

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
