Trader Joe's reviews

The ever widening gap between what was a standard ideal , and now how has been processed, corporate-spun & packaged, no protection from the " new" style of management, did somebody say McDonalds?

Read all the other reviews. Do you see a pattern? The company is making changes that they should of made when the economy started to go bad years ago. Instead we are slapped in the face with unstructured crazy changes. Most of us understand that some people don't get raises at their jobs at all. The company has been beyond generous with us but now since they need to start saving $ they are having the management not award raises to at least half of the employees in their store and the reasons behind it are ridiculous. Furthermore, they overhired for the summer which made everyone get their hours cut. Well unless you write an order then you get your 5 days, but some people don't want to write an order and be blamed for things that they might not of done. We understand the summer is slower but it appears they are hiring new people so they can be paid less. As for the mates, the ones hired from the outside are trained to be almost robotic. It's just sad, the culture of the company is going down the toilet because they couldn't adapt fast enough. I'm ready to move on and trying my best to do so.
