I applied in-person. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Trader Joe's (Boston, MA) in Sep 2017
Interview
I applied in store on a tuesday and a mate immediately set up an interview on that thursday. Had a second interview with 2 mates on that friday afternoon. Had a third interview with the captain of the store on that saturday morning
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.
