Pros

Health benefits, retirement fund, pay, room for advancement, relaxed atmosphere, flexibility, discount on food, mental and physical job. Employees work all aspects of store, not just a cashier or stock position.

Cons

Dealing with customers SO much can get overwhelming. Employees must constantly be 'on' because of Trader Joe's high customer service, but can be lots of fun too.

Pros

Raises with out asking. Descent compensation for work tendered. Most of the management are good people with a few exceptions. Well scheduled breaks and adequate time management. Benefits are worth the work. Fairly easy transfers to other TJ locations. Can schedule work shifts around school schedule. Learning to work with a lot of different people enables a crew member to grow as a person. Hopefully getting better at communication, and what it means to be proud of a job well done with your crew. Sometimes a family-like atmosphere. Depends on the store, and the crew.

Cons

The job can be too demanding at times. A lot is expected of each crew member when some are not capable of the work load. Bad days can be really BAD days. Gossip. Favoritism. Lots and LOTS of stress.
