I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Trader Joe's in Dec 2022
Interview
i met with 2 mates and then the store captain. It was like sitting down with a friend. I guess it is to assess if you are personable and have an agreeable personality. The interviews did not happen at the designated time.
It's two to three interviews, the final with the Captain (or highest manager) of the store. The interviews are largely to get to know your personality and how well you would do at customer service.
The interview process was absolutely wonderful! I didn't feel stressed or nervous and it felt like I was just chatting with a friend! Trader Joes is a great company and the interview was great.
Very chill, asked things a lot of job interviews don't, more personal down to earth questions. Made me feel very comfortable. Professional but also cool vibes from everyone who interviewed me. Went to one interview with mates and another with the captain.
