The bright-colored shirts and friendly personalities of the employees are some of the first things that Trader Joe's customers notice when they walk through the door. But there's much more to being a Trader Joe's employee than all that. If you get bored easily, a job at Trader Joe's may help. The store throws a little variety at its employees by allowing them to change tasks throughout their shifts, rather than doing the same thing all day. During a typical shift, a crew member might clean, stock shelves, and check customers out at the cash register.
Another perk of being a Trader's Joe crew member is that not only do tasks change during shifts, so do shift times. Employees may have to wake up early on some days to be ready for the frozen truck when it arrives at four o'clock in the morning. But they can rest assured that other employees will be doing the same thing on other days while they catch up on some sleep. If you're a firm believer that variety is the spice of life, then working at Trader Joe's might just be a good fit for you.
For some employees, working at Trader Joe's can result in a bit of celebrity status. For example, former Cosby Show actor and Trader Joe's employee Geoffrey Owens went viral when photos of him bagging groceries were published by the Daily Mail. Social media had a bit of a field day with his choice of jobs in between acting gigs.
Though most crew members' photos probably won't end up on the internet, it's still possible for them to achieve some claim to fame on a smaller scale. One such employee by the name of Hayley talked with Refinery 29 about how she has become the "Trader Joe's girl" within her tight-knit community. She gets called that when frequenting the local coffee shop, attending parties, and even at school. Hayley said that Trader Joe's is aware of this kind of attention and reminds employees like herself that even when they're not bagging groceries or stocking shelves, they're still representing the store. She also noted that it can feel strange to have those expectations of unwanted pressure. So if you're not ready for the spotlight, you may want to play it safe and stay away from Trader Joe's.
