Allow us to introduce ourselves...

Conductor

To date, Trader Joe's celebrates almost 50 years of consistent growth and profit in the food and beverage industry. We're an extremely profitable company, and we have no debt. Because Trader Joe's remains private, we aren't beholden to the quarterly demands of stockholders, freeing us to address both short and long-term growth issues and, most importantly, control our own destiny. Trader Joe's is family-owned. We have personally funded our own expansion to almost 300 stores in California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Missouri, Michigan, Delaware, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. All stores are company operated - no franchises! - and we promote from within.. In 2004, over 1000 promotions were made internally. Our reputation on the street is that we're a cool company, and you'll find that eyes light up when people hear you work at Trader Joe's.

 

The Crew:Our Crew (in-store personnel) is well-trained, knowledgeable, friendly and fundamental to our success. We're a non-union company; we've maintained this position by offering a great compensation package, a comfortable workplace and open communication. Trader Joe's people are true "foodies" who enjoy working in a team environment. The Crew tastes our items so they can share their opinions with others. We like our customers to be engaged in the Trader Joe's experience, and our people play an integral part in making that happen.

The look: We have achieved tremendous success throughout the past five decades through an innovative approach to our business and our customers. The atmosphere in our stores is different from the typical retail experience. Our employees sport Hawaiian shirts as uniform. Maritime bell signals replace intrusive loud speakers. The decor is early Beach Boys meets Captain Courageous (including "Crew members" as staff and, you guessed it, the "Captain" as Manager).
