Pros

Learnt heaps of stuff whilst still at school All staff members apart from one were really nice Decent pay Management seemed nice

Cons

Could get really busy Senior male staff member would always yell at me and made me hate coming to work couldn't deal with it plus management seemed to be very clicky with him so didn't bother be a 'dobber'. Every person I worked with out front said he was nasty to them as well no one was safe from him.

Pros

co worker are friendly, free meal. Flexibility, it's only good if u do part time. As a cook, we are doing a lot of things

Cons

I don't get it why cook is pay the minimum wage, their doing a LOT of things, cleaning, garbage, cooking. And cashier is paying basically the same wage while they barely do things.

Pros

Lenient hours 2+ years of shaky employment

Cons

The older you got, less shifts you were rostered on for as it was cheaper to hire someone younger. The managers encouraged team members as young as 15 to go out on smoke breaks with them, creating 15-17 year olds exposed to smoking and addictions. Having to stay back until 2am on school nights to clean for the next shift; even though you were only paid until 10:30. 2+ years in the same uniform, that didn't get renewed and ended up torn and burnt at points. Lack of training. WHS practises abandoned because of the multiplicity of dangerous jobs (for example; standing on top of a tap 1.3m above ground full of chemicals and water to reach an out of reach shelf that needed cleaning without spotters/ anyone to catch if fell from slippery surface. Rude managers, that encouraged bitchiness within the store and didn't stop bullying. Managers that swear and call people 'f*cked up' or 'stupid b*tch' if a job wasn't completed correctly; though without specific instructions being given. Large amounts of wastage of the company 'if it's not sold throw it out' policy, though the vast expanses of food could be given to companies that aid in feeding the homeless.
