Pros

Good pay and benefits for part time. There is almost always a positive environment. Possibilities for upward mobility are available considering the company's commitment to promoting within.

Cons

The job can be physically demanding but that's not necessarily a bar thing because you kind of get paid to get a workout.

Pros

Great work environment. Great fellow employees that evolves into great friendships. Very active work where you are constantly moving. Good benefits even if you only work part-time.

Cons

They are at weird point with their management system. Hard to get straight forward answers regarding moving up and opportunities. A lot of possible promotions depend heavily on how much your store manager has your back or likes you.

Pros

Great work environment. Fun, fast paced and good fellow employees. Great food and fun working before and after hours. The 4-midnight shift was great. Working there for over 5 years, you really become part of the family. I made great life long friends working at Trader Joes. They are very open to alternative life styles and body modifications.

Cons

Stressful at times. Monotonous work stocking shelves or running register. On weekends the store gets really busy and it gets a little overwhelming.
