Pros

Money and the level of responsibility are the real benefits. Whether or not your work environment is largely dependent on the people around you.

Cons

Militaristic management approach imparted by many. Long work hours 60+ week. Some unbearable sociopaths in Director positions.

Pros

Starting pay was well above minimum wage. Few store workers which cuts down on work drama. The store is closed early at night, opens later on Sunday's and closed most holidays.

Cons

Manual labor is intense with unloading pallets. Stocking the fridge and freezer can be challenging to those sensitive to cold temperatures. You are timed for how many items you can scan per minute, and they have extremely fast standards which causes a delima with good customer service.

Pros

Can help develop skills based around working to a time-frame. There is really no other positives to being a store assistant.

Cons

-No breaks given if shift is busy. -Management get finacial kickback for rostering on less staff. -Staff are not rotated from duty to duty (ie, tills to filling stock) and you can end up doing 6-7 hours straight on the tills. -Shifts start at 6am or 3pm. You will finish at 9pm and be due back at 6am for work the next day. -Unreasonable timeframes to move stock or do other tasks, if you dont meet timeframes you are bullied, yelled at and threatened with your job. -You will have no life due to the way hours are structured. -You will never have two consecutive days off in a row. -You will work at least 1 if not both days on the weekend. -Majority of the deputy managers are young and have no management or life experience. Expect young managers to make up the rules as they go.
