Crew member
Crew Member (Current Employee) – Reston, VA – February 7, 2018
I am a crew member at TJ's.
It is a fun easy job if you like people. If you don't like people, do something else. If you do, you will enjoy it. also stocking is like being paid to do light exercise.

Trader Joe's Crew Member (Former Employee) – Morgan Hill, CA – September 20, 2018
Trader Joe's was a fantastic place to work, the company really follows it's mission to make people feel welcome and warm when they come into the store. The company also works with you when you're deciding what days and time's you can work. Of course they have a preference but they really try to make it most feasible for you.
Fun, fast-paced, and physically active workplace
Crew Member (Former Employee) – Bellevue, WA – September 19, 2018
I had loved working for the company. The co-workers I had were incredible and most often hippie/ healthy. The environment was fast-paced and full of physical activity. Management is very encouraging and understanding. Hardest part of the job for me was how physically demanding it was, I have scoliosis and it imposed on my health often. Most enjoyable part was the team as a whole, everyone supported everyone to become a better version of themselves.
Pros
Fun and competitive
Cons
Physically demanding
Fun environment to work in

Flexible, fantastic work environment, and an outstanding company
Crew Member & Floral Designer (Current Employee) – Kentucky – September 12, 2018
Very fun and open environment. Stress on being your own person. You have a different job every hour and are constantly moving. Lots of customer interaction and you get to know your coworkers really well. Everyone is responsible for all parts of the store. Company is constantly giving and donating food and services. On your feet all day and you go, go, go!
Pros
Great Environment & Company
Cons
Exhausting work
amazing company to work for.
Shift Supervisor/Crew Member (Former Employee) – Manhattan Beach, CA – September 11, 2018
from the company culture to its customers this company is amazing. they treat their employees well. The pay and benefits are immaculate. Sometimes its a little hard to get in, but keep trying because once you are in you will never want to leave. One of the best if not best companies i have ever worked for.
fast paced and productive workplace
Trader Joe's Crew Member (Former Employee) – Hewlett, NY – September 11, 2018
The job was fairly easy, as long as your body was ready for all sorts of manual tasks. The managers here were also pretty understanding. They had a lot of mercy for those who weren't doing as well as they should have. The pay was competitive, and they offer employees insurance and benefits. Not bad for a grocery store!
Good management

Crew Member (Former Employee) – Los Angeles, CA – September 5, 2018
Work environment was relaxed with set goals for the work day. The customers were also mostly pleasant and great to converse with. Management could be a touch better with communication with crew members about expectations and such.

Crew Member (Section Lead) (Former Employee) – Salem, OR and Mt. Pleasant, SC – September 2, 2018

Pros
Benefits, Culture, Fast-Paced

Trader Joe's Crew Member (Former Employee) – Oceanside, NY – August 30, 2018
Working here was the best time of my life, my reason for leaving was sadly because I relocated but I had the option to transfer just wasn't one close enough. My time here i learned to manage a lot and were able to perform tasks that were above my position. It taught me leadership and to also learn from your peers, because there is so many things to know and improve on and this can't be done alone. Everyone is kind hearted and always making sure if you slow down they help you pick up in the best way possible. Nobody was ever repramanded for any wrong doings, if a mistake was made it was easily solved.
