      Pros

      Trader Joe's may seem like a unique place to work, but actually it is just like any other retail job. Pays the bills that is all that matters.

      Cons

      Poor management, poor management, poor management, poor management. The company has lost sight of its laid back attitude. Poor Management.

      Pros

      Some of the pros are friendly management, friendly co-workers, casual dress code, benefits vision, dental and vision and flexible scheduling.

      Cons

      Your on your feet all day and sometimes have to deal with rude/weird customers. Working the register is a pain

      Pros

      -Variety of tasks throughout the day depending on your abilities and work ethic. -If your willing to relocate and have a captain that knows good leadership and hard work you can move up to management pretty easily. -Have always been very fair in my reviews. -If you have a clear head, stay out of the gossip and drama, have a good attitide, working here can be pretty good.

      Cons

      -Quality of management is very inconsistent. You may have an awesome captain and team of full-timers and then when they start transfering people you may get a not so great team of managers and you'll be sctratching your head on how these bozos even got hired let alone promoted -For some reason TJ's loves to open stores in areas where the greediest, cheapest, and rudest, customers reside so difficult customer expriences is fairly common but you do have good ones in the mix as well. -As I stated above what really makes or breaks your exprience working here is if you have decent and competant managers so while working in one store maybe great the one in the next town maybe totally chaotic if the lunies running the asylum.
