Pros

Granted, I haven't been working here for very long, 5 months, but absolutely love it. The benefits are great, the people I work with are all very kind, all the full-timers are freaking awesome!

Cons

Since it's a customer oriented business, some customers love to take advantage. I have seen a lot of really awful customers with meaningless complaints...

Pros

Accountability isn't really a priority, schedules are flexible, the benefit package is second to none, it is not stressful in the least.

Cons

Accountability isn't really a priority, the basic nature of the job physically stressful, customers are mentally exhausting, there is no emphasis on productivity.

Pros

variety of products Trader Joe's offered at a reasonable price. Yet we have experienced several episodes which turns us gradually away.

Cons

The products are not always fresh, watch out expiration dates first. Then even they are good, be careful the products are not somehow spoiled during their shipping to the stores. Be ware of the checking out at cashiers, watch not to have extra items 'scanned'.
