Trader Joe's reviews

Every hour you work you are doing something different and you must be working full blast. The managers plan out where every employee will be every hour of the day. Very disconcerting. Had to always watch the time then start doing a completely different task. Had to write down every shift and every hour to be where they wanted us to be. Some of the workers were just miserable people. Some dept. managers extreme in how they wanted produce displayed but would comment after all the work was done that it was wrong. Work hours all over the place either in at 5 a.m. or 6 a.m. and tons of work done after the store closes. I have always worked very hard putting out stock on delivery day but this company receives truck daily. Very hard labor every day. Some managers very fussy. No drug tests often wondered if coworkers were stoned. No place for employees to park was told might have to use parking garage not even visible from the store. Only certain employees allowed to talk during the shift - that is what it felt like.
