I worked for Trader Joe's for seven years before I finished school. It was a great place to work and although I make a lot more money now I miss things about it. TJs and Costco were always in the same discussion about great places to work in retail and as such it seemed to attract "high performing misfits". By this I generally mean really smart and hardworking people who didn't or couldn't go to college. Joe Coulombe built a very good company that I'll continue to shop at for a long time!
