Great if you aren't in management
manager (Former Employee), San Francisco Bay Area –
Pros: can be fun, in a shared suffering kind of way
Cons: hours, continually cutting payroll
A great job for a part time employee: you practically write your own schedule and its fun. In management, you get worked insane hours and are expected to deliver the impossible day in and day out. Slash raises while earning increasingly higher employee satisfaction survey results. Re-merchandise your whole store frequently. Submit to the arbitrary whims – more...  of regional managers who are compete with each other for the next big idea. – less

My most memorable job.
Crew Member (Former Employee), Tustin, CA –
Trader Joe's is by far one of the best companies I have worked for. I was young when I worked for them, but not only do they have wonderful compensation, they treat their employees very well. I worked mostly nights as a front desk cashier but also did floor and back room stocking. This job requires a decent amount of physical activity, but it was all – more...  worth it. – less

Great place to work; wonderful co-workers
Crew Member (Current Employee), Union Square, NY –
Pros: discounts on product, daily tastings, never the same day twice.
Cons: some departments one might not favor, but one never one for whole shift'
Trader Joe's is a wonderful place to work. Management is flexible and caring. Each day is different, i.e. one works in a different department, Co-workers are funny and friendly.

great benefits/ terrible management
part timer (Former Employee), North Carolina –
Pros: benefits
Cons: working weekends
This job is fast paced and never gets boring. The day goes fast and the customers are generally nice. There are a lot of different shifts to choose from, and you are encouraged to try them all and learn all areas of the store. The company itself has great values and standards. Each store is run a little differently, and there is a certain store in NC – more...  that has a boss that is really hard to work for. It makes your job a lot less enjoyable. – less

Excellent Company
Accounting clerk (Former Employee), Calfornia –
Pros: everything! can not say enough about this company
Cons: nothing!
I loved working for this company. It is very unfortunate that I no longer work there. As long as you are getting your work accomplished, no one bothers you. There is lots of work to be done on a daily basis which means job security. Almost everyone is easy going and it is very convienent.

Fun environment, great coworkers, and lots of food!
Crew Member (Former Employee), Downers Grove, IL –
Pros: amazing healthcare, lots of educational tastings, and room for growth.
Cons: short breaks and management was a bit clique-y.
To be very honest, I still miss working for this company. It was physical, fun and tasty all at the same time. I had a great five years there.

Fun work environment and excellent learning experience.
Sales and Merchandising (Former Employee), Ardmore, PA –
Pros: fun work environment
Working at Trader Joe's was an exceptional experience. I worked here while taking up a Food Marketing education at Saint Joseph's University. This was as close to an intern as you could get. I learned all aspects of running a grocery store.
