I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Trader Joe's (Charleston, SC) in May 2022
Interview
It was a standard interview… Basic interview questions. Trader Joe’s is huge on having a ‘family’ like atmosphere. So in the interview be sure to tell the interviewer that you work very well with a large team.

Question 1
Have you worked with a large team in previous jobs?
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.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Trader Joe's (West Hollywood, CA)
Interview
Casual, took place outside of the store. First I had a phone call interview. Then another which was in-person with 2 of the mates in the store, and finally a third in-person with the captain of the store.
