      Pros

      Started out great. Great products! Flexibility was great with my second job. Tastings are wonderful. Coworkers are great team players and a bunch of weirdos in a good way.

      Cons

      Management is getting sloppy with crew morale. Cuttings hours and hiring new people (at higher pay rates) is not keeping with the company's vision of the upside down pyramid. Neither is spying on your crew and making notes of all their mistakes. Positive reinforcement...what happened to that? Also, Walmart is hiring people at 10 an hour. Shouldn't TRADER JOES have higher standards and pay their people more than a pitance of a living wage?

      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
