Unprofessional, toxic company at every level of management. - Crew Member Trader Joe's Employee Review

worked for this company for 4 and a half years and feel used, taken advantage of, and betrayed. You will train new employees who do a quarter of the amount of work you do and they can get paid $4 more an hour. Managers pick favorites and will never be fully satisfied with you. The regional manager refused to speak with me after a month of trying to have a conversation with him to address my complaints with how I and others were mistreated. I got his email myself and asked why he wouldn't speak to me; He made me cry over the phone and urged me to just try and find a job with better competitive pay (I did). Now that employees have been unionizing, long-term employees continue to be mistreated in what is likely an attempt to replace them with new employees who will not want a union. There is nothing I wouldn't do in the time that I worked for Trader Joe's, and they were sure to take advantage of my willingness to do any task that was asked of me, but that was still not enough. One of the reasons I didn't get a raise was because the head manager told me I take out the trash too much and that I should give other people a chance. Sure, they offer 2 raises a year, but they will find any excuse not to give you that raise. I was literally told I take out the trash too much. That was a genuine criticism.
