Over the past three years, Trader Joe’s has appeared as a top company on Glassdoor, with 84 respondents saying they’d recommend working there to a friend, Business Insider reported.

But how much do Trader Joe’s employees make? “In general, we offer above minimum wage,” a Trader Joe’s spokesperson told Business Insider. The spokesperson noted wages vary depending on the store’s location.

According to the Trader Joe’s website, the company provides a performance review for each “Crew” twice a year. On average, workers have the potential to receive a 7% annual increase. Workers also receive up to a 20% discount on all products, paid time off (five to ten days per year) and the option of a company-funded 401(k) retirement plan.

There’s also health insurance, including medical, dental and vision plans, and the company promotes based on performance. According to Trader Joe’s, 78% of Mates (supervisors) started as Crew, and 100% of Captains (store managers) were promoted from Mate. Trader Joe’s also offers leadership training, scholarship programs, relocations and transfers, employee assistance programs and more.
