      A fantastic company to work for.

      Pros

      401k with annual contribution equal to 10% of your earnings, Bi-Annual Performance Reviews (which result in raises for employees who meet expectations), Insurance (Health, Vision, and Dental for employees who work 30+ hours weekly, assistance available for those who don't). Positive and friendly work environment, and lots of variety (you're usually never running the cash register for more than two hours straight.)

      Cons

      Hours can be unreliable in the slow season. No overtime allowed for crew members under normal circumstances. Customers are of utmost importance, and keeping them happy can be stressful.

      Great Place To Work

      Pros

      Trader Joe's offers a really interesting work environment. Employees are encouraged to take whatever time they need to talk to and help customers. This creates a great atmosphere for the shoppers as they can get easy help with anything they need. Crew members tend to be pretty happy with their job because the pay is great for what you are doing. I made some of my best friends from working here and I would highly recommend to anyone interested!

      Cons

      In order to move up in the company, you have to be willing to sell out a little bit. You have to kiss some booty every now and then.

      Pros

      Every hour is different so if you are someone who like a bit a variety throughout the day it is really nice. Generally speaking, all the employees are really great people who come from all walks of life, I have had many great conversations.

      Cons

      It gets really busy and you are not paid any more/benefit when the store is hectic. I thought it was weird how they will generally tell you the sales for the day. The crew members get nothing, even if the store was putting up 130,000 for seven days straight.
