Multiple interview process. First interview, with the assistant managers of the store called mate, and then a second interview with the captain, who will confirm employment with them or not.

Question 1
What is your favorite product here?
Describe a time you had to deal with a difficult situation.
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.
