Trader Joe's

• 800 SOUTH SHAMROCK AVENUE
• MONROVIA, CA
• Rating 4.55 out of 5  130 reviews

Experienced Employee: As someone who has worked in retail and the restaurant industry for years, Trader Joe's has easily been the greatest company I've ever worked for. My experience can best be described as friendly, social, encouraging, and inspiring. My coworkers are all incredibly friendly and open, and as your "friendly neighborhood grocery store," we invite socializing with customers and making friends with the regulars! Our work policy is definitely work hard, play hard. The management of Trader Joe's is transparent and autonomous nearly all the way up - as an employee, if you wanted to speak to the CEO of the company, you probably could if you wanted to! Our benefits are wonderful, including decent health insurance, amazing pay and frequent raises, and a seriously awesome retirement plan. Any employee wishing to move up to management is positively encouraged to train for it and make it happen, they're always open to new managers! If you're thinking about it, definitely apply to Trader Joe's!...Read 130 Reviews

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf

• 5700 WILSHIRE BLVD. SUITE 120
• LOS ANGELES, CA
• Rating 4.29 out of 5  21 reviews

Senior Employee: Wonderful company to work for! I got hired as a barista and 6 months into the job, I got promoted to a Shift Supervisor and I can honestly say that was the best thing I could have done! I love learning about coffee! They had so much information to learn from and I became very well versed in the Coffee World. I was on a road to become a General Manager for a store but that is the one thing they could improve on. They need a structured way of organizing internal promotions within the company...Read 21 Reviews

California Pizza Kitchen

• PLAYA VISTA, CA
• Rating 4.16 out of 5  32 reviews

Experienced Employee: Very good systems in place to theoretically run restaurants efficiently as well as instill a positive work culture. Great training as well, but systems and training not always executed as designed. Poor support for mid-level management. Lower level employees constantly thrown too much work. Upper level management certainly disconnected from individual locations. Comparably to other restaurants CPK is a great place to work as a lower level employee. Good compensation and benefits for mid-level management...Read 32 Reviews

Instacart

• Rating 3.35 out of 5  93 reviews

Entry Level Employee: You go shopping for other people. It's that simple. You just go on the app and look on the list of who all is ordering and pick one to go shopping and deliver for. You get paid by the order, so the money you make is dependent on the size of the orders and how often you deliver. When you deliver is completely up to you.

See's Candies

• 20600 SOUTH ALAMEDA STREET
• CARSON, CA
• Rating 4.57 out of 5  7 reviews

Manager / Director: I have had an amazing experience while working for See's Candies! They have been tremendous in supporting me while I attend college. I have a great management team that I am apart of, the workplace culture is pleasant, and our customers are very satisfied with our service. One thing that could be improved is better availability for certain products. Our goal is to sell all our seasonal product before the end of a season, but we typically sell out of certain product with over a week left until a given holiday. All in all, I would highly recommend See's Candies to anyone looking for employment...Read 7 Reviews

Learning these new skills were much easier since they employed others my age in the area, so I was able to grow into a working role more smoothly with my peers, making my first working opportunity a great experience. I ended up staying with the company for two years, and was able to move up in positions while I was there...Read 14 Reviews
