      Pros

      Trader Joe's has some decent benefits, some schedule flexibility, interesting co-workers and the job is rarely boring. Perfect as stop-gap for the recently unemployed.

      Cons

      Inept managers who are poorly trained and educated. Subpar working equipment, i.e. all computers, registers, coolers and other equipment are all second hand and break down frequently. Managers and employees frequently under the influence of drugs and alcohol.

      Pros

      Great pay and benefits and co workers as far as equal level is concerned, you can have whatever hair color you want and they don't care about piercings and tattoos. I have no piercings myself but it goes to show accepting company they used to be.

      Cons

      Slowly becoming more corporate. Supervisors date and mess around with coworkers. They take the opportunity to use the death of a coworker to fire people or "clean house"

      Pros

      Great job for those who love food and working in retail. Good pay, great benefits, fun and laid back environment, amazing co-workers, and really a wonderful place to work. Raises twice a year for good performers at Crew level.

      Cons

      Limited growth opportunities. Lots of hoops to jump through. Or, just be in the right place at the right time. Captains (bosses) vary in management styles, some MUCH better than others.
