Pros
The benefits of working for TJ’s have gone downhill massively within the past decade, but specifically since the pandemic and the creation of Trader Joe’s United, the Union. Insurance continues to get more expensive for less coverage, corporate is so disconnected from the store level that they have no idea what is actually good for the company. They are riding the wave of how they used to be head and shoulders above others when now they are maybe eyebrows above at best.
Cons
The push to unionize has created hostility between the corporate office and the crew at store level. They no longer care for employees as people like they once did. If you want a job to get yourself through for a time, it’s fine. But if you need a career or a long term job, don’t do it. It will destroy your body and leave you with a sad resume that no one will take seriously.
