The worst. Shifts start as early as 4AM or if you are participating in a remerchandising of the store you will have to do it on an overnight shift. If you want to advance within the company this is a requirement. Also though you may be scheduled only until 12am you are expected to stay if the work isn't complete. This happens often as crew often calls in sick and stored are understaffed to save money to begin with. It's not as fun as they make it out to be.

Yes good benefits

I believe part time so 20

Yes, we do get discounts

you have to be willing to work, always under the general supervision of the "mate". There was no reason to go out side the established procedures. What is important is to do the task with the best of your ability, to work consistantly, to be at work when you are scheduled, certainly not 10 minutes late

What is your favorite TJ’s product? What is your availability? If I happened to run into your former employer, how would they describe you?

There is a two round interview process. I submitted my application online and was called in to interview less than a week later. The first interview is conducted by two managers. They go over your resume with you and then ask a round of questions writing down your responses. They called me back that same day to schedule my second interview which is with the store captain. During this one, the captain reviewed my original responses and asked some questions of their own before making the decision.

Usually they ask you when you can start working. Some people start a week after they get hired some choose to start right away. I asked to start right away and was put on the schedule 2 days after.

I made it to the last interview with the Captain and did not get the job. Two weeks after the interview with the captain I received a telephone call from them and was told that I did not get the job. But they were very encouraging and let me know to try again if I really wanted to work at Trader Joe's. They told me that I had done very well with the interview process but they had a former employee come back and they were giving them the job. I was told to keep checking to see if in the future they were hiring again and to apply then. Well about a month and a half later I received a voice mail from the captain just checking in with me and to see if I was still interested in the job. Of course I said yes and now I have the job and am working for Trader Joe's.
