      Pros

      Benifits. Good student job. You can move up if you can manage to keep all the balls in the air...

      Cons

      Favortisism. Management prefers kiss-asses who will do their work for them. New review system for part-timers finds any reason possible to withhold raises. This change has just taken place and unfortunately puts TJ's on the same track as other big corporate grocery retails. Which is selling out employees for more profit. Their trying to sell it as a better method of reviewing employees, but it's nothing more than another move away from being an employee friendly company. Which will eventually come back to bite them in the ass just like it has Safeway... May be the begining of the end of Trader Joe's as we have known it !!!

      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
