I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Trader Joe's (Redlands, CA) in Oct 2022
Interview
First interview is with two mates (lower management) at the store, after they approve you you do a second interview with the captain (head management). They should call with the decision within a week.
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.
I had 3 separate interviews. 1 was over the phone. 2 were in person. I never heard anything after the third interview. I called the store about a week later and they let me know they didn’t actually have any available positions. Really felt like they wasted my time.
