Trader Joe's is unlike any other place you've worked. Trust us. We simply have no room for bureaucracy all Crew Members support our stores to assist in the delivery of great products and experiences to our customers. We have as few layers of leadership as possible, and welcome dynamic retail managers (from Assistant Manager to District Manager level) to join our Crew as Mates.

Don't Be Fooled

The fraudster will send a check to the victim who has accepted a job. The check can be for multiple reasons such as signing bonus, supplies, etc. The victim will be instructed to deposit the check and use the money for any of these reasons and then instructed to send the remaining funds to the fraudster. The check will bounce and the victim is left responsible.
