Trader Joe's reviews

This company went downhill after the original owner died. They hired a new CEO and started treating employees like garbage by taking away their health insurance and creating more and more arbitrary and nonsensical rules to make work difficult. The place is very cultish as well…it was as if many of my co-workers had drank the proverbial "Kool-Aid" and didn't realize the obvious…that they were working in a grocery store that sells designer food to self-entitled rich people. I firmly believe that most employees had some sort of mental illness and were working there as a result, since many had college degrees.

I had worked for TJ for 2 years. I had only 1 bad review and 3 good one's, They dropped my insurance shortly before the beginning of this year(sure they gave me a $500 dollar check for healthcare but I never got any help finding insurance ( lowest I found was $150/month), they directed me to go to websites, management told me to call the same people they said just look at the healthcare site blah blah.Was not accepted to medi-cal because I earned and worked to much at Trader Joes. I injured my knee off the job a little over 7 months ago, I got all the doctors notes for excused time off. I made a post of Facebook in a medicated state that was dumb, but I never mentioned nor was work info on FB. Basically saying the company lacked its number value called "integrity" My boss told me about it and said he took personal offense and basically told me im gonna get fired.
