I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Trader Joe's (Newark, NJ) in Apr 2022
Interview
Traditional interview. Manager said there would be 1 or 2 more interviews in the process if I were chosen. Manager was friendly. I did find it disheartening that they said they could not guarantee hours nor health insurance, to get you to give full availability.
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.
