Does Trader Joe's hire felons?

Yes, Trader Joe's hires felons. There are certain factors, however, such as the nature of the felony, duration from when it occurred, and the position that you are applying to - all of which might hurt your chances. Felonies related to violence or theft make employment at Trader Joe's difficult to obtain.

Since you'll be working directly with customers, if your record includes felonies for violent crimes, drug charges, or theft, you may have a hard time getting hired at Trader Joe's. Trader Joe's runs a background check on all new hires. We recommend being honest with the hiring manager during the interview about anything that might show up on your background check.
