Best place to work!
Crew (Current Employee) - Ashburn, VA - July 4, 2019
seriously, trader joes is AMAZING. they pay you beyond fairly, the hours are wonderful, the people are great, I couldnt find a complaint if I wanted to. The store I was at suffered a bit of nepotism, but hey it never got in the way of doing our actual jobs. The most fun I have EVER had at a job.

Toxic Work Environment
Customer Service (Former Employee) - Rockville, MD - February 26, 2020
It was a sexist, toxic boys club of a place to work. Only the men were taught how operate the forklift and unload trucks, while only women were taught demo (aka the kitchen). The managers refused to address employee's directly, instead opting to exchange information through outside, 3rd party individuals. There were several instances of racist and sexist incidents that management flat out covered up, and there is a grown man still working in the same building as the child he sexually harassed. I will never work for this company again, and would advice anyone else against it as well.

Great Job but too much work for the money
Crew Member (Current Employee) - Arlington, VA - February 6, 2020
Management changes too quickly and your whole life is devoted to pleasing your captain. Support is not proportional to criticism, and raises are disproportionate to workload.

Great Part time gig or career builder
Specialist (manager), Crew member and demo an (Former Employee) - Bethesda, Rockville, Gaithersburg and Silver Spring, MD - January 24, 2020
Great starter job to grow and potentially make into career. College and high school students especially can thrive using individual personality to stand out for customer service. People come and go so it’s a family....once a Crewbie always a Crewbie! If you’re a foodie you’ll LOVE your job here even more. And if you’re not you will be!

Sign artist
Sign Illustrator (Former Employee) - Rockville, MD - December 1, 2019
Trader Joe's was one of the few companies that hired artists to hand draw their new product signs and I was lucky enough to be one of those artists. Thing is , I studied art in school and deserve more than $14 an hour for it . There was an attitude that everybody was included, and I was except that two individuals behaved unprofessionally. I was bullied severely and since I was the only one, management didn't do anything about it. I co created murals aside from signs .
We had weekly tastings which was nice.

I would work there again over and over again. Awesome place to work, but cannot afford to work there and raise a child alone. Great management and awesome team building activities.

Poor Management
Crew Member - Section Leader (Former Employee) - Centreville, VA - October 30, 2019
TJ's hired outside manager with a poor TJ's culture, New Captains are afraid of standing for employees and side with managers even if there is an excellent employee in question. I am sorry I left other opportunities passed because I was valued by previous Captains before. The key is the managers fairness, other than that is okay.

Flexible and Eciting Work Environment
Crew Member (Current Employee) - Silver Spring, MD - October 2, 2019
I started working with Trader Joe's not long after I relocated and it was a great fit. The company and I continued to fit when I went back to school. Everyday offers something different with the variation of tasks to complete every hour. Everything about the company is very inviting - management, work culture, and rising within company.

Manager (Current Employee) - Rockville, MD - October 2, 2019
it has been my pleasure to work for trader Joe's for five years. If there was a store closer to Frederick, MD I would stay but the commute is too challenging for my family.
Pros
Great advancement opportunities.

Productive and fun place to work. Co- Workers made the job there easier and the days went by so much faster because of the great quality of staff.
Crew Member (Former Employee) - Springfield, VA - September 16, 2019
I enjoyed my time working at Trader Joe's. I had to leave for personal reasons but the Managers were always understandable and always were there to help. What was cool is the managers worked hand in hand with you and didn't micromanage and tell you what to do 24:7. I felt like I was helping a small community than working.
Pros
Discounts on groceries. Sampling the new products
Cons
Short Breaks.

Excellent company culture translates to healthy work environment
Crew Member (Current Employee) - Reston, VA - September 16, 2019
Trader Joes takes care of its employees. The health insurance is the best deal I have heard of, and has better coverage than more expensive plans elsewhere. They offer 401k contributions without any employee contribution necessary. Management is very responsive to employee needs and unexpected life craziness. The work is hard, but also easy and fun.
Pros
Awesome people, great products, kind customers (usually)
Cons
On your feet whole time, excluding breaks. Small breakroom.

Relaxed place to work
Trader Joe's Crew Member (Current Employee) - Baileys Crossroads, VA - August 7, 2019
Management gets moved around from store to store, thus leading to periods of good management or poor management. It's a bit of a coin flip depending on the management, but it can be a quite pleasant work environment if you arent unlucky.

Welcome to the last job youll ever have!
Crew Member (Current Employee) - Bethesda, MD - July 11, 2019
I don't know where to begin with this company....... Let's start with the staff, EVERYONE work together to make sure not only customers are happy but employees are too. Mate (assistant managers) constantly work with you to move you up and promote you.
Every 6 months EVERY employee is eligible for a review and a potential raise if you qualify.
Working there isn't rocket science, JUST STOCK THE CORN..... and be nice. Be really really nice. Not hard. Just be nice.
The work place is fast pace but duties cycle quickly so you're not stuck on a mundane task for too long
Literally the hardest part is making sure the fresh stuff goes on the bottom and older goes on top (we call it F.I.F.O.) and making sure you don't loose your apples while trying to stock your apples.
Overall a great experience and cant wait to continue to grow with the company.

A decent company to work for. Just like any other good employer, it offers great benefits and retirement plans. There are also alot of politics involved.
