1. How much of Trader Joe’s success can be attributed to the fact that most larger chain grocery stores do not sell the type of food available at Trader Joe’s?

2. Is pay enough of an incentive to continue at a job you do not enjoy?

3. How does Trader Koes help employees fulfill the needs in Maslow Hierarachy?

4. Trader Joe’s promotes entirely from within the organization. This means that if you are a good, dedicated worker, you can rise up within the company.

What if the company only promoted from within but the pay was not as good?
