      Crew Member Interview

      30 Jan 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Cincinnati, OH
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Trader Joe's (Cincinnati, OH) in Dec 2024

      Interview

      My first interview was quite pleasant. Very warm and inviting. Truly wanted to get to know me as an employee and what I had to offer. Wanted to hire me on the spot but set me up with a second interview as soon as possible. The second interview a completely different tone shift. Seemed completely disinterested in interviewing me before we talked. Acted weird about shaking hands from the beginning. Pulled their hand back uncomfortably. Had just very cold and distant attitude towards me before we even talked. I have several years of experience with customer service and never experienced an interview like this. It felt like I was judged before I could even make it through the second interview. I have an amazing background and didn't understand this treatment. Was a very off-putting second interview. When I asked about a 3rd interview (Why have 3 interviews anyway?) they paused awkwardly and mumbled that they would call me once they talk to the first person interviewed me. I have a feeling that they never did and hoped I would not get back in contact with them. I'm very disappointed for a place that says that they are inclusive. I was treated very poorly. I had called back a week later to discuss my experience with the second interview and they apologized and said they "don't do things like that at Trader Joe's" and would look into the matter and get right back to me. However weeks later and I never received a call back. I had such high hopes and felt very disappointed by my 2nd interview. In very troubling dark times and a bad economy on top of it as a parent I'm just trying to secure a second job to support my family.

      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.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Trader Joe's (Atlanta, GA)

      Interview

      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.

      I interviewed at Trader Joe's

      Interview

      I had 3 separate interviews. 1 was over the phone. 2 were in person. I never heard anything after the third interview. I called the store about a week later and they let me know they didn’t actually have any available positions. Really felt like they wasted my time.
