      Pros

      Flexible Schedule* Decent pay Crew member discount

      Cons

      If you end up with a bad captain, life at work won't be easy Some mates play favorites and control how your work day will go Micromanaging Captain may target you and try to find negative things you do, instead of all the positive, leading to a lose-lose situation *One of the "perks" of the job is to have a flexible schedule, but if you try to change it your Captain may give you a hard time about it Be careful about the store you plan to apply at. Try to get a vibe for the crew members/mate/captain if you can and see if it's a good fit for you. Not all Trader Joe's are bad stores, but not all of them are good either.

      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
