Nerd to know your fruit &vegs just go
Good place to learn about fruit and vegetables it's a hands on job but I can say it's a interesting place to work meet people from different countries and you can work anyway in the store from pick&pack to behind the counter serving customers , rotating the stock on the shelves they's things to do to keep you busy to.

Bad communication. Stay away from them!
When I first started, they didn't even have any induction or tell me any important things like how I will be paid, if I have to sign a timesheet, when is my shift (have to kept asking managers daily if I will be wanted the next day), no show around warehouse (I have to figure where the toilets are by myself), and didn't even inform me about compulsory working conditions like I have to work in a freezer (and the supervisor got upset when I didn't bring my jacket on the first day in order to work in there). Unclear and bad coordination between office and warehouse management and there are a serious flaws in their job description about the role. They generally didn't care who they hire and usually bulk-hire (mostly backpackers, student visas, and very young people) when they are desperate and most of them are friends or living in the same dome. They do this because they could get rid of them easily and tell them we don't have work for you after 2-3 weeks. So if you want to work here, be prepare to get send home after 2-3 hours or tell you that don't come anymore after a few shifts. Yet there are still work available for selective people who is friends with management. Some people who work here for long are quite rude indeed. I've heard people yelling across the freezers, scream at other people, and got upset with new staff for minor mistakes. If someone left a mess before they go home but bad luck you are the next person to work in the area then you will be blamed and accused that it was your mistake. Some supervisors will generally mistrust new staff. When they hire, they will - more...
Productive workplace
Harris Farm was my first 'proper' job. I really enjoyed it and I learnt a lot. My typical shift experiences included: interacting with customers about products, stacking shelves, rotation of in store stock, mark downs of products, discussing objectives with others in my section/team and getting to know products and their placement.
Not a bad job but very political
Be careful who you work for. Great as a part time worker but don't look for a job in management. Often understaffed and under supplied in the butchery with a lack of care by the owners shown. However, the produce is good quality and the workers are excellent people.

Diverse and friendly environment
Harris Farm is an extremely diverse workplace in all aspects, staff are very open, friendly and welcoming to new staff. Shifts range in pace, some days are fast-paced and busy however help is always available. As my first job, Harris Farm positively introduced me to a functional and positive working environment and would recommend it to those wanting an active and flexible work experience.

Relaxed and collaborative workplace with that runs at a fast pace.
Working at Harris Farm was an incredibly rewarding and eye-opening experience for me. I began working there as a young teenager whilst attending an all-girls boarding school in the same area. Balancing the strict schedule of boarding school life as well as monitoring my work times and shifts after school was challenging, however, it taught me a lot in regards to balancing responsibilities and creating an effective time table and schedule to work for me. I thoroughly enjoyed working at Harris Farm as it was a favourable job in which challenged me and allowed me to form many personal skills that I can carry with me into future workplaces.
Very friendly workplace and they were very flexible
I worked at Harris Farm in Bondi Junction for around a year and I loved it. The people were great but it was stressful when the shop became busy. Overall I love the company and the people.
Pros
Your shifts were very flexible
Cons
I do think the pay could be higher
Fun and easy going workplace
- Easy to gain customer service skills
- Managers are accepting of everyone
- Very nice and clean workplace
- However HR management are disorganised
- May not have a choice of which department you're put into (eg. front end, grocery, perishables)
