Pros

Unboxing new things is kinda fun, and the pay is great if you're desperate

Cons

Micromanaging, awful guidance, being told to lie to customers, forced to work longer hours than you are paid for (even if you are a casual and you are getting paid by the hour). The store is dusty so be aware if you have skin conditions. Literally so much stress, my goodness. The first thing my manager said to me on my first day was "WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG???" I was taken aback like "sorry what do you mean? Nice to meet you by the way", and she was all like "why did your hiring process take so long??". She completely blamed it on me when it was actually an onboarding mix-up with HQ in Melbourne. Incredibly, incredibly, rude management staff. I am a fully qualified engineer now and to this day Daiso was the most stressful job I've ever had in my life. Talk about PTSD. It's not worth the money - work somewhere that won't berate you and make you cry over $2.80 worth of mangoes.

Pros

Staffs are generally friendly people.

Cons

Contract offered weekdays they want you to do weekends. HR dont respond to queries. Government aid company on each local's wage for the circuit breaker. But.. were put on no pay leave while company get the aid. Think twice before joining as your rights are gone. Old system making work from home tedious for anyone.
