Some amazing people, but the gossip and general incompetence amongst management is something else.

Warehouse (Former Employee) - QLD - 9 April 2022

Met some amazing people over the years in all roles who have become lifelong friends and will help each other out as best we can, but the gossip, favouritism, one-upping, blatant disrespect and general incompetence amongst managers, both at store level and head office is unreal. Working through Covid in the warehouse was a nightmare. No staff turning up for shifts as they were getting paid Jobkeeper, and business boomed. Not a nice time when you are the only one turning up for your shift, and expected to run the entire show and serve every single customer to come in that day (sometimes hundreds during Covid). The kicker? Management wouldn't address the issue. I have met some managers over the years who would not last a month in any other company with the disrespect and incompetence on display.The company many years ago was amazing. The new culture is terrible. At the end of my time there, all I had to show was a lot of stress and no reward.

Pros

Met some lifelong friends, moving on, salaries aren't bad.

Cons

Finger pointing, uncaring, lying and generally selfish management types (not all), too many managers and not enough regular staff, no discipline enforced amongst any staff members, those who suck up get promoted, whilst hardworking staff get used and abused, casuals have no guarantee of hours, gossip.

Not the best environment to work at.

Sales and Warehousing (Former Employee) - Penrith NSW - 31 July 2019

Was okay when working at other stores but the Amart in Penrith was not a good place to work at as the management there was completey terrible. They wouldn't look out for their team and would blame everyone else for their mistakes. Amart Furniture as a whole is and okay business but the Penrith store is a no go.

Pros

Discounts

Cons

No Job Security

Great people and work.

Despatch Storeman (Former Employee) - Virginia QLD - 16 September 2017

I worked as a casual in dispatch for 6 months and really enjoy the camaraderie with my fellow workers and the physical work. If you don't like physical work its probably not for you. I think of it as gym and getting paid for it. Its not full on all the time and I got to do customer pick ups as part of the job which is enjoyable as customers are excited to get their product. Money is on par with other stores jobs and working Saturdays and Sundays pay really good. The management is hard but very fair as long as you do your job as expected no problems. The days goes really quick when its busy. Lost of variety building furniture, loading trucks, putting product away that comes in on pallets, helping customers. There seems to be plenty of advancement for people that want to climb the ladder in due course.

Pros

Great people, Management gives credit when its due.Freindly place to work.

Cons

If you cant hack a bit of hard work now and then you wont like it.

Terrible

Warehouse manager/ assistant manager (Former Employee) - Ballarat, Victoria - 6 October 2016

Super a mart is the worst company i have ever worked for. Abusive lying managers who take things to a personal level. Wages are terrible unless you constantly suck up to higher management. The hours in management are illegal. Expected to work 2+ weeks straight with no breaks. 10min lunch breaks. No wonder amart has been caught by fairwork twice for underpaying its employees.
