Trader Joe's Environment Employee Reviews

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

we are kind to one another and make the most of our work even when it's a crazy busy day. Or if we have a bad experience with the customer, we'll talk about it with each other and make each other feel better about it.

Unending positivity from customers and fellow coworkers which leaves everyone smiling.

Customers and their enthusiasm for products.

less fake smiles because that doesnt make situations better

The company would benefit from addressing crew member complaints relating to other crew members.

A more active Captain with a stronger voice; more engaged, hard working mates to set role models for the fast changing student crew population.

Review from Customer Support Dept

Our most recent Captain, she killed the beautiful morale that the store used to have before she came.

Going back to core values and spending more time on mate training and who becomes a mate

Review from Customer Success Dept
