Pros

It is a lucrative company that offers excellent health benefits to those who average 30+ hrs a week. Its fun and feels more like a party than working lol. Raises usually happen every six months and are for a decent amount verses .35 a year

Cons

However it is still very low in pay in regards to someone who has a family to support or isn't living at home with parents who pay most the bills. Guess you can negotiate so it varies per person. The hours are all over the place and can be tough if you have a family. You can talk with managers and get hours within your availability however the less availability the less ours given and the less pay made.

Pros

The best reasons to work at Trader Joes are the other crewmembers, the customers and of course the products.

Cons

The work is demanding - heavy lifting, loading and unloading pallettes, moving cases with handtrucks. Not easy work - bending and kneeing stocking shelves. Cartruns can be very hard on the back - especially in the bad weather.

Pros

It's a fun, and (primarily) positive environment. The company embraces diversity, good benefits, great culture, free food!, free coffee!, excellent customers, and the quality of work is dynamic.

Cons

Long hours and physical demands.
