Bunnings Employee Reviews for Replenishment Associate

Sometimes management abused their power by cutting shifts when casual members had valid issues to address with them, claimed to be “not sitting at the ivory tower cracking their whips” but their actions showed otherwise. Great work culture within the team though, great pay and overall good experience.

Overall a great job

Replenishment Team Member (Current Employee) - Smithfield QLD - 24 February 2020

I love working at Bunnings but due to a fluctuating budget, I am not always given a lot of shifts as I am a casual worker. The shifts I am also given are not always the most ideal times or dates.

Great Place to work

Replenishment Team Member (Current Employee) - Dandenong VIC - 6 December 2019

I found it really easy to arrange hours that worked for me. The pay was incredibly good for a casual worker. I was able to study Full-time, work a 30hr week, (3, 10 hour days, my choice) and earn 50000 a year.

Too many higher up employees, none of which will tell you the same thing when you need help or assistance

Replenishment Team Member (Former Employee) - Launceston TAS - 18 July 2017

Most of the employees you work with are great, which makes the job a lot more helpful. It would be an advantage if you had lots of knowledge on all different areas of home living, maintenance etc. You will get asked lots of questions from lots of customers. Most questions are very in depth and would require someone with knowledge to assist. I found that there were too many people higher up that didn't know what they were doing and/or most would tell you to do a job a certain way and then you would get criticised or get told that the way you have completed a job is wrong by another employee.

Pros

Lots of technology to assist you with your job

Cons

No positive euphoria, customers don't really want every single worker to approach them and asked if they need help.

great workplace

replenishment (Former Employee) - Carseldine, QLD - 29 April 2015

bunning's warehouse is a great place to work at if you want to do warehousing. the co-workers at Castledine are great company,always supportive and are willing do stop doing what they are doing to help you or customers with their enquiries. the hardest part of the day would be having a customer ask me questions that I couldn't answer, then looking for another co-worker that knows the answer to the question. the most enjoyable part of the day, was getting to know my co-workers and making new friends.

Pros

none of the staff that i met were ever angry

Cons

trying to figure out where a product is

Invaluable introduction to work

Supervisor/Replenishment (Former Employee) - Mile End, SA - 5 February 2015

Having started work at Bunnings Warehouse at the age of 15, I persisted within the retail industry during my studies and became Supervisor at the age of 17. I remained a supervisor until I 21 only to withdraw upon my contact hours and focus on my studies. I was solely responsible for handling cash sale amounts in excess of $50,000 per day. At the age of 17, handling this amount of money was a great learning curve.

Pros

Highly Team Orientated

Cons

Wage

An enjoyable place to work with an excellent culture.

Replenishment Team Member (Current Employee) - Perth, WA - 22 January 2015

Each shift begins with a meeting that outlines the key duties required to be performed for that day. This meeting gives all involved and opportunity to communicate clearly and effectively with other team members and management to be unified in the daily goals. I am then required to conduct several safety audits to ensure that all safe work practices are being adhered to and that any hazards are dealt with accordingly, in accordance with the hierarchy of controls. This role gives hand on experience to understand the risks involved with particular hazards and the management systems to control such hazards. Upon completion of this, the rest of the shift is dedicated to customer service and replenishment of store supplies. This role requires hard work and enthusiasm and is very rewarding.

replenishment (Former Employee) - Bunbury, WA - 21 October 2013

bunnings was my first full time job as i was working there for 3 months and left to go back to school, i learnt alot in this roll from customer service to how to read bar codes and use pdt's, i was on replenishment packing the entire store and then had my own isle in housewares where i re stocked and just kept the area generally clean/helped customer's, id say this would have been my best job in retail and they teach you so much. good oppourtunity to learn about anything diy or around the house, fun job and environment.

Cons
