      Pros

      Trader Joe's is truly a unique company. If you're willing to put up with the physicality of it all and the long hours as a supervisor, it will reward you in spades. You'll develop strong management and customer service skills, while, for the most part, having a good time. The people who are the most successful are the people who are already customers and think it would be a great place to work as well.

      Cons

      As a supervisor, you are scheduled a minimum of 50 hours, so be ready for that. There is a lot of burn out due to all the repetitive lifting, and stocking. Also, be ready to give up your weekends, but that's part of retail.

      Pros

      Great pay and benefits for retail. There is an excellent retirement plan. It can be very fun, although, it had better be fun, or heads will roll!

      Cons

      Incredibly demanding physically and demanding of your time and energy. The job is still changing and the skills that made a successful manager several years ago are less important now.
