Pros
If you are able to commit to at least 30 hours a week, the benefits are great, the company typically hires pretty great people to work with and the store itself provides decent opportunities.
Cons
The trend I've noticed (to be fair is true of most jobs) is the management you work with dictates what your career will be like. Most stores have a very tight knit group of closers/morning people, and there is a lot of playing favorites for both. While the core values of Trader Joes are great and if you get your foot in the door it can be an easy fun job, I've heard and noticed not every store carries that same basic value. A lot of stores are "captain run" so if your captain is a jerk, you won't have the same experience.
