Pros

Starting salary has been great. Even when I applied 15 years ago. Those starting recently are very happy with what they were given

Cons

Benefits are hard to come by unless you work an average of 30 hrs. The company has changed over the years and isn't such a small town feel good store anymore.

Pros

Upbeat and inclusive culture, competitive wages, decent benefits package, non-bureaucratic structure.

Cons

Very rigid scheduling (4am, 12:30pm, or 3:30pm only), labor is extremely taxing on body, non-unionized, benefits package could be improved and more competitive.

Pros

Direct supervisors were usually very friendly and overall culture of the store was a positive one

Cons

Middle management was constantly changing, making it difficult to form strong bonds. And while Trader Joe's bills itself as a quirky, fun place, the work itself is nothing different from working at another national grocery store, but with bigger crowds and bells.
