Very hard on body
Checkout Cashier (Former Employee) – Blackwood SA – 21 June 2018
I very much disliked working at Coles strongly due to the unprofessional environment and not very nice management. The job was very harsh on body and didnt like very much.
Pros
Short hours
Cons
Hard on body
Work experience, comfortable and reasonable
Night Filler (Former Employee) – Melbourne VIC – 21 June 2018
This company I was working for had given us a work experience job. This was required by my school to give us a one week work experience.
The working environment was friendly and overall helpful to our experience around Coles supermarket and how it runs on a daily basis. We are required to restock shelves, bake home-brand deserts and clean up around floors and to take the rubbish out.
It was a friendly and a well worth experience I will never forget

Sales Assistant (Current Employee) – Sydney NSW – 19 June 2018
Most enjoyable part of working at Liquorland would be interacting with customers on a daily basis and creating friendships and loyalty with regular customers.
Hardest part about working at Liquorland is that there is alot of heaving lifting involved and pay rate is not high enough

Love my team members, upper management on the other hand
Deli Assistant (Current Employee) – Adelaide SA – 18 June 2018
All team members that I have worked with have always been hard-working, very hard-working to the point where some are doing the job of a manager for no extra pay or acknowledgment. Upper management have no idea what actually happens on the shop floor and unrealistic expectations-when you give more, all they want is more. Hours during the summer months are quite generous and fair however, winter months are a different story.
Pros
Fellow team members
Cons
Unrealistic expectations from upper management
Everyone who works here hates it.
Trolley Collector (Current Employee) – Tweed Heads NSW – 17 June 2018
The pay rate for Coles is pretty decent, though after working there for a short time you'll find that nobody enjoys their time there. The upper management try to sell the 'family' angle, meanwhile the company cuts hours and refuses to hire new people when stores are understaffed.
Worked for a year and they refused to teach me anything outside of my field of work, so there was next to no chance of promotion or movement to different areas.
Recommend for a short time period while looking for something better.

Pros
They provide free foods, tea and coffee in the break room.
Cons
You'll hate yourself before long.
