Pros

Trader Joe's is an affordable grocery store with friendly employees and opportunity to grow if career oriented. It is perfect for entry level employment as well.

Cons

Depending on expectations trader joes however is a company that you have to work at for a significant amount of time for the pay rate to increase. Therefore if you have a family and certain expenses it may be sort of hard to manage to get by based on the pay rate.

Pros

Great Pay Good Benefits Good Customers You get to try new food

Cons

Favoritism out the yang If your in good with a mate you never have to worry about doing a task you dont want to do. Don't wanna be on register then just ignore it when your log says your on register, dont wanna go collect carts then say your still writing your order, Dont want to be on the floor then sit on a table in the back while "double checking your order" I have had to train 5 of the 8 mates that work in my store All but 1 mate has been promoted from within the store Got Written up for not smiling enough If your not on the morning crew or closing crew your not working more than 3 days a week at best They apparently don't have enough hours to hand out to everyone but every weekend 3 new people are going through orientation
