I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Trader Joe's (Southlake, TX) in May 2019
Interview
Had 2 rounds of interviews. First with 2 Mates, Second with another Mate and the Captain of the Store. Really friendly and wanted to get to know me. It went really smooth.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What do you know about the company? What's your favorite product? Tell me about a time you worked with a difficult coworker.
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.
