Social and interesting

Sales Assistant (Former Employee) - Brookvale NSW - 18 September 2023

If your tech driven it’s a great place to work. Can have to mush pressure on pushing extra care and attachments, which at time felt unethical/unnecessary for certain customers

Games manager (Former Employee) - South Wharf VIC - 12 September 2023

No care for staff mental well being and basically like being in high school again. Better retail jobs out there or maybe just do anything else but there

Decent work but poor management

Operations Coordinator (Former Employee) - New South Wales - 4 August 2023

Worked here for a year in 2022. Had decent work hours until they were suddenly cut at the start of this year. As someone in Operations, I was dealing with all things deliveries, receiving stock and dealing with bringing customers their oversized products. I was working the most out of my team and it was not divided up equally. I would be left alone at least an hour after everyone else due to poor rostering. It was decent pay and benefits as a casual worker

Great workplace

Sales Coordinator (Former Employee) - Marsden Park NSW - 23 July 2023

Really fun and engaging workplace, KPI’s are constantly changing and can seem a bit ridiculous at times. Generous pay and commission structure is well applied.

Christmas Casuals Opportunities

Fun and productive

Warehouse Worker (Current Employee) - Civic Square ACT - 14 July 2023

The work at jb hi fi was hit and miss with some days being better than others. Staff discount is really good but the pay for warehouse workers could be better.

Bit boring really

Sales Advisor (Former Employee) - Adelaide SA - 5 June 2023

Working at JB Hi-Fi was a rather underwhelming experience for me. The primary task of putting CDs on shelves proved to be monotonous and lacked any real challenge. The work environment felt dry and unexciting, leaving me longing for more engaging tasks. While I appreciate the importance of organizing merchandise, the repetitive nature of the job left me feeling unfulfilled. Overall, my time at JB Hi-Fi was characterized by a lack of stimulation and a sense of boredom, making it a less than satisfying experience for me.

Pros

Staff discount

Cons

boring

Over worked and under paid.

Storeperson (Former Employee) - Cranbourne VIC - 23 May 2023

Despite working at least as hard as anyone in the store and having many responsibilities. The store room is the lowest paid part of the store, commissions are available to sales people who if they aren't dealing with customers spend much of their time just standing around chatting. Where as there is always something that needs doing in the storeroom, if you're not dealing with customers or couriers there are always many tasks which need attending to but you have no opportunity to earn a comparable amount to a sales person on the floor. The store room should be compensated with a higher hourly rate but they pay you minimum wage and and you're classified as a sales assistant despite really being a store person.

Pretty fun but sometimes

Customer Service (Former Employee) - Penrith NSW - 12 May 2023

Work is usually pretty repetitive everyday. KPIs vary day to day as well but very achievable. There is a learning curve to it but once you get it you'll be sweet. Work culture can also vary store to store but in my experience it is pretty good! Discounts are really good as well!

Pros

Discounts

Cons

Long hours and short breaks

Great coworkers = great time. Commissions are super generous

Retail Salesperson (Current Employee) - Sydney NSW - 8 May 2023

As a casual, enjoyed my time. Shifts are offered on a performance based basis, so if you can excel at sales they'll give you more shifts. Commissions are generous, no specific targets to reach, as they are instead sale by sale paid weekly with your payslip. Commissions are also performance based and each product has its own margin. If you have good coworkers you'll enjoy your time and end up pocketing good money. It's a good idea to apply during Christmas casual hiring period, as they'll keep you if you're good.

Pros

Good environment, good staff discount, flexibility for casuals, easy to do, not so strict management usually

Cons

Targets can be a bit unrealistic sometimes and things out of your control will affect your stats.

Fun for young people

Media Advisor (Current Employee) - Merrylands NSW - 25 April 2023

Great for the social culture and if you’re interested in electronics. Not a good place for growth. Definitely recommend to those who are wanting a casual job

super easy job

Sales Assistant (Current Employee) - Sydney NSW - 11 April 2023

super easy job, but your enjoyment in the role relies heavily on management which changes regularly. Some managers can be really strict and angry about KPIs and others are very understanding.

bad management but great staff

operations (Current Employee) - Macquarie Park NSW - 25 March 2023

Management are poorly trained and often unprofessional. I wouldn't make a career of this job but a fun place to work as a part-time job. Pay is sub-par.

Good work place but stressful

COUNTER/MERCHANDISE TEAM MEMBER (Current Employee) - Gold Coast QLD - 25 March 2023

Management is pretty good, but they hire too many staff during the holidays and expect you to work way too many hours and then turn around and give you one shift a week after the Christmas season, because they don't have the hours to give.
