Terrible place

Sales Assistant (Former Employee) - Cannington WA - 25 September 2022

Terrible pay for the amount of stress and work you have to do. I was thrown into deep end at day one with poor training. Fragrance section was so busy and constant stock coming in and manager telling me off for not sorting Fragrances out and putting stock out yet I'm always busy with customers.

Pros

Non

Cons

Terrible pay, stress, poor management

Horrible.

Sales Assistant (Former Employee) - Wangaratta VIC - 17 January 2022

Would not recommend working at this company. If you do happen to take a job and experience any negative behaviour going on in the workplace I wouldn’t even bother reporting it to HR because they will not do anything about it.

Pros

Nothing.

Cons

Stressful. Poor management. Expected to run yourself ragged.

Not bad

Sales Assistant (Former Employee) - Fremantle WA - 29 December 2021

Ok if you want a job, on your feet a lot, customers generally nice, pay isn’t the best but not the worst either. Depending on the customer, can be a good or bad experience.

Pros

Nice staff

Cons

Average pay

money hungry driven mean management

Sales Assistant - Full Time (Former Employee) - Buderim QLD - 10 April 2019

No customer care required. Just take their money and move on to the next paying customer. don't talk too long if they aren't going to buy anything. I don't lie for anyone.

Pros

none

Cons

arrive at work early, no recognition. Take one extra minute for lunch and you are put on notice.

Not nice

Sales Assistant (Former Employee) - Port Adelaide SA - 10 September 2018

I worked at the port Adelaide store I found the manager to be very rude For what they wanted done in a time frame was ridiculous when you were on main and backup for the day plus helping customers Some staff were favourites and got away with a lot etc didn’t open the Reggie took long tea breaks and lunch breaks The pay was horrendous for what need to be done They didn’t care about your family but if anything happen to theirs it was a big deal I always seem to get late finishes it was not shared properly I’m very disappointed

Pros

Discount

Cons

Long hours

Fun place to work

Sales Assistant (Former Employee) - Forest Glen QLD - 16 January 2018

My typical day at work could be boring at times as I was always on the front counter. However when it was busy in the store, I liked to interact with the customers which was the best part of the job. I didn't learn much at this job. At times it was hard to get along with some of the staff.

Pros

long lunch breaks

Cons

Hard to get along with staff

Productive workplace

Sales Assistant (Former Employee) - Brighton VIC - 3 December 2017

Good work environment. Ability to advance to higher positions. Don’t get paid after shop closes regardless of having to stay back on average 15 minutes each shift. Roster is not flexible at all.

Cons

Strict roster

na

Sales Assistant (Current Employee) - Melbourne VIC - 3 October 2017

My beauty Spot (chemist Warehouse) is a great company to work at on a part time or casual basis for students. However I believe this company lacked basic respect for their employees and in ways felt bullied.

Pros

Work life balance

Cons

Basic respect

Busy so day goes faster

Sales Assistant (Current Employee) - Adelaide SA - 17 June 2017

The job is okay, very fast pace and you have to be very open minded when it comes to customers. The management could use work as they are not very flexible.

Pros

The co workers

Cons

long hours, managment

Very Poor Salary

Casual Sales Assistant (Former Employee) - Canberra ACT - 10 May 2017

Very poor salary, they are looking mostly for people who are willing to do a lot of work for very little pay. I don't recommend working here unless you really are willing to do hard work for almost nothing. Include the cost of the bus getting to and from work, paying for your lunch, and you don't earn that much. People work there a few weeks and then leave because it's not worth it. $13 per hour is just hilarious. LOL.
