A fun place to work, with a family oriented business style.
Crew Member (Former Employee) – Reston, VA – January 26, 2019
Working for Trader Joe's was a great experience. We were trained to be the best at customer service , making sure our customers received all their needs. The people I worked with were always nice, Trader Joe's did a very good job at hiring the right people.
Pros
discount on groceries
Cons
nothing at all
Meet tons of really cool people (customers and crew members)
Stocker, Cashier, Customer Service (Current Employee) – Los Angeles, CA – March 25, 2019
Overall decent company with opportunity for growth. Management can be a little underwhelming and weak at times but as long as you do your job your more than likely fine. Attendance is pretty much the most important job in working for TJs.
Pros
Room for growth. Meeting cool people.
Cons
Too much favoritism.
Love working there but the management could be better
Crew Member, Trader Joe's (Current Employee) – Hoboken, NJ – March 24, 2019
Love working there but the management could be better. Never had a problem but the head boss would be picking on certain people on different days. She just needs to learn to be nice
Don’t do it to yourself.
Crew Member (Current Employee) – Massachusetts – March 24, 2019
It was nice at first until I switched to the early morning shifts. People are petty, rude, and unwelcoming. They act fake to your face and then turn around and pick you apart. One mate at my store even joined in on it and pretty much encouraged their behavior. It went to the point of one of the crew blatantly ignoring me when I came to answer her one bell. She looked right past me and waited for another person to come.
Cons
Mates dictate and don’t lead like they should. Crew is unfriendly.
Collaborative
Crew Member (Former Employee) – San Diego, CA – March 23, 2019
Had to work well within a team environment. Fun place to work especially if you enjoy working within a fast paced environment. Worked there many years and it is pretty easy for how much they pay you.
The crew and mates are like family

Growth Opportunities
Community Participation Specialist (Former Employee) – Monrovia, CA – March 21, 2019
The workplace culture is a fun, interactive and grants the chance to meet new people within the company. The most enjoyable part is learning about what everyones role was and learning from one another. There was not a difficult part about the job because it was so exciting to get to work and make a difference in a positive way and be there for the customers.
Pros
Health Insurance, Company Parties and Discounted food
Used to be better
Crew Member / Manager (Current Employee) – Tempe, AZ – March 21, 2019
Good company as long as you are willing to work hard. Harder work than people think. Balance customer service with a lot of lifting and stocking. Must be flexible and available all hours to get the best benefits from the company.
Pros
Good Benefits
Cons
Availabilty dictates how many hours you are able to work
Good People and good food
Meat & Seafood Section Leader (Former Employee) – Greenwood Village, CO – March 21, 2019
A day at Trader Joe's is very dynamic in that in a single shift I would spend time with inventory, spoilage and donations, ordering, stocking, receiving, register, training, food demo, Illustrating signage excetera. I learned to multitask efficiently, and work with many personalities. Management was very solid and the work culture was always a good time. If you like food and people, you would probably be a good fit.
Fun and fast paced environment with delicious products
Trader Joe's Crew Member (Former Employee) – Plainview, NY – March 20, 2019
I loved my job at Trader Joe’s for the time I worked there. My favorite part about working there would be working at the sample station and enticing customers with the products we were promoting for the day! It felt good to help customers find products that become house hold favorites for the whole family to enjoy.
Pros
Discount, health benefits
Great fast-paced enviroment
Forklift Operator (Former Employee) – Fontana, CA – March 19, 2019
Typically at work i would arrive ten to twenty minutes early to make sure i have proper protective gear and prepared for my shift. My management was very motivating and helpful with task to help with faster productivity. The most enjoyable part of the day was lunchtime.
good place to work
Section leader of every section during tenure (Former Employee) – West Hartford, CT – March 19, 2019
good place to work, show up on time and do what your told to do. you should get a raise every six months, it is a physical job that can hurt you if your not careful.
fun and family like company culture
CREW MEMBER (SALES/STOCK ASSOCIATE) (Former Employee) – Sawtelle, CA – March 18, 2019
A day at trader joes is pretty straightforward. You either come in before the store opens and restock shelves and unload the morning shipment and go home a little after midday or you start after the store opens and maintain shelves or work at the cashier.
Fun & Special Job
Crew Member (Current Employee) – Denver, CO – March 17, 2019
Trader Joe's is a company like no other. They value their employee's very much. Management is good. The work environment is customer experience oriented.....they want their employee's to have fun while getting the job done. The work itself can be strenuous at times, but for the most part it is fine. Shifts and availability are flexible.
Pros
Benefits, work environment
Cons
Work load (at times), on your feet all day
Great job

Cons
Some nepotism.
could be a good job at a different store
Crew Member (Current Employee) – NJ – March 16, 2019
I have heard good things about the work/ life balance at every other store. Poor management= lack of motivation for the team. No "community culture", as is traditionally described to be the case
Pros
dental, vision, healthcare if youre able to maintain an average of 30 hours
Cons
poor management, no set schedule, hours cut randomly during the summer
