      Pros

      They offer flexible hours which is especially helpful if you are a student. They offer top rated benefits which include health, pharmacy, vision and dental coverage. The employee share of the health insurance premium is minimal. They also give you an amount which equals 3-5% (depending on your years of service) in an account for you to draw on for paid days off. Each year the company deposits 15.4% of your gross salary into a retirement account.

      Cons

      Working weekends is a requirement. Hours can vary. Having an unpredictable schedule from week to week makes it hard to have a normal life.

      Unfortunately, falling into line with other large corporations.

      Pros

      Benifits. Good student job. You can move up if you can manage to keep all the balls in the air...

      Cons

      Favortisism. Management prefers kiss-asses who will do their work for them. New review system for part-timers finds any reason possible to withhold raises. This change has just taken place and unfortunately puts TJ's on the same track as other big corporate grocery retails. Which is selling out employees for more profit. Their trying to sell it as a better method of reviewing employees, but it's nothing more than another move away from being an employee friendly company. Which will eventually come back to bite them in the ass just like it has Safeway... May be the begining of the end of Trader Joe's as we have known it !!!
