I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Trader Joe's (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2022
Interview
During the first interview, they asked me questions about my previous job and about customer service. It was with a mate. The second interview was offered the same day and I came back the next day with the captain. During the 2nd interview, we talked more about what working at my previous workplaces was like and what customer service meant to me. Got an offer the same day.
Applied online and had one in person interview with the captain. It lasted maybe 10 minutes. Got a call a week or so later that I got the job. Very fast process.
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.
