      A Great Place to Work

      Mate

      Pros

      The position of 'Mate' is the Trader Joe's equivalent of 'Assistant Manager'. Trader Joe's has opportunity for unlimited advancement, if you can prove yourself to the right people at the right time. Competitive salary and (albeit small) annual bonuses. GREAT benefits, including an employer-paid retirement and easy acquirement of time-off. Plenty of job stability.

      Cons

      Working a rotating shift is usually required, meaning 1-2 closing shifts, 1 midday shift, and 2 opening shifts per week. The shifts for this position are 10 hours/day, and often you stay late. The raises are one per year, and they are almost laughable, at least in the beginning. For the amount of work that this job requires, the raises and compensation should be higher.

      Great short-term job, too physical for long-term

      Pros

      Great health insurance/benefits, 2) somewhat decent raises/per year, 3) Normally do get PTO approved if R/O ahead of time 4) Great relationships developed within store. 5) )$10/hour EXTRA pay on Sundays (if they give you a Sunday shift)

      Cons

      1) Extremely physical, you're almost guaranteed to get worker's comp. 2) It's retail, so the pay is not going to cover major expenses unless you have a spouse to contribute, etc. 3) Since it's so physical, long-term it will not benefit your body at all. It's ideal for a temporary amount of time. 4) Retail hours- you will be working weekends, early mornings at 5am, or late nights until 10pm. No business hours of course. 5) HR is a joke, reporting an incident will do nothing, it is not confidential, and will come back to management.
