Pros

Trader Joe's benefits package is outstanding, even for part timers. Trader Joe's offers health insurance to employees who work at least 20 hours a week. It was also a fun place to work. Employees also get a 10 percent discount and time to shop .

Cons

There were some growth opportunities, but there are not enough Trader Joe's in Massachusetts making management jobs less available and I am not willing to relocate. If you can relocate, Trader Joe's has lots of stores all around the country giving you more opportunities for advancement.

Pros

Excellent work environment and team.

Cons

Might not be a con for some but the job requires you to spend a lot of time on your feet moving objects so not recommended if you have any injuries or ailments.

Pros

-Great way to meet people, socialize, and learn customer service -Always tasked with different things every hour -Friendly crew who will always help you to learn and get better at your job -Get a slight pay raise every 6 months -No outside commitments and amazing benefits if you work full time (about 28 hours a week for every 6 months) -Will take time, but find your friend group, stay with them and have fun, you can't please everybody -Care for your body, do not overdo it with physical labor, its a retail job and you only have one fragile body for yourself, get help or insist about your pains

Cons

-Not many, unless you are stuck in a bad store with bad management -I had some good luck of working in 3 great stores, so YMMV -Sometimes can get cliquey like you are back in high school -Getting promoted up to store management may involve buttering up and being a "yes-person" -Care for your body, do not overdo it with physical labor, its a retail job and you only have one fragile body for yourself, get help or insist about your pains
