Trader Joe's Reviews
Rating 4.51 out of 5 162 reviews
Honestly one of the best jobs I've ever had. I worked decent hours, never too early or late in the day, with really great pay. I even accrued paid time off that increased with my weekly hours as a bonus. The company really cares about its employees and does its best to make you feel appreciated. There were semi-annual interviews where the managers go over what you do well with and award you a raise. All of the employees were incredibly friendly, and the environment was judgement free and safe. It never felt like work while being here because I actually enjoyed the job. I made so many friends I still connect with and it helped me learn social and people skills. The discount was fun too, especially with how amazing all of their products are!
What I like about Trader Joe's is the amount of opportunities for employees to grow within the company. When I first started at Trader Joe's I was surprised by the amount of senior employees who had been with the company for as long as 20+ years. I quickly learned why my peers had decided to create a career at Trader Joe's. The company has provided employees with a livable wage and opportunities to grow. Employees are eligible for a raise every 6 months, for an increase as high as a dollar every 6 months. This provides crew members with the incentive to better themselves within the company and have their hard work recognized. One thing I would like to see change in the company is the movement of managers and shift leads. The company moves store managers between locations at a maximum of every three years. I find this very difficult as employees make connections and stores become as close as family.
At Trader Joes in dc I was a crew member with includes many different jobs including stocking clerk, cashier, sanitation station, and shopping cart collection. The people and culture were great, easily picked up habits from more experienced team members which really helps in the day to day grind. Customer satisfaction is very important and stressed to you from the store captain, to the mates on shift with you at the time. As long as common curtesy is kept, and you can be helpful to customer, there is going to be a problem. It's a very diverse staff so there are many approachable people if you ever need anything, and there is a lot you can learn.
