      FAVORITISM GALORE - Part-time Crew Trader Joe's Employee Review

      Pros

      Good benefits. You never have to go hungry on the job because there's always something to munch on... You can take up to a 3 week vacation - good schedule flexibility if you give enough notice of when you want time off.

      Cons

      Favoritism is THE most negative thing that comes into play time and time again. It's true: if you don't play the game and suck up, you can be 'punished' by getting stuck on the register 5 hours daily. And they still expect you to be cheerful with every customer??! ! Review scoring can be totally biased towards the person, not on how they perform. Lack of positive reinforcement.

      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
