Priceline Australia Management reviews

Good first job , very professional training but could only offer me weekend shifts as I was casual. Just depends on how the management is so every priceline is different

Casual Sales Assistant (Current Employee) - New South Wales - 5 October 2022

The managers that i had worked with were extremely rude and petty. The job itself was very repetitive and repeating the same movements for 5-6 hours straight with only 1 15 minute break!

Pharmacy Assistant (Former Employee) - Victoria - 17 September 2022

Relaxed workplace with nice and helpful team members. Good management team. Trainings (products) provided from time to time which helps all team members to get to know more about the products

Amazing environment with subpar management

Pharmacy Assistant (Former Employee) - St Kilda VIC - 17 September 2022

Whilst I loved the people I worked with and the general nature, management at this store was very harsh, and always targeted casual workers like myself who worked less than others. Got sacked for an unexplained reason even though the day prior was praised immensely and even discussed an increase in my role responsibilities, and was then ghosted following me reaching out.

Pros

Staff discount, great people

Cons

Awful management

Fun place to work

Not enough to cover living expenses pay was below average, management was supportive but depends who you work with, flexible with working hours. Pay could be better

Easy job but it really depends on management & co-workers

Sales Assistant (Former Employee) - Victoria - 22 July 2022

A typical day involves stock replenishment, working at the register & assisting customers. If you're a casual the hours are inconsistent, some weeks you get multiple full days in a row but other weeks you barely get any hours. Fine for students/those who want extra money but aren't reliant on their own income. Pay is slightly above minimum wage. There isn't much career progression. Stick to the pharmacy branches as they seem to be phasing the non-pharmacy stores out. Staff normally consist of all women which makes sense for a beauty retailer. If management doesn't like you then good luck getting shifts. Gossip and cattiness are rampant.The free samples are a nice bonus and also help you know the products. Staff discount is isn't great at 10% off but it applies to sale items too.

Pros

- Free samples, easy-going work culture, small staff discount

Cons

- A lot of cattiness, inconsistent hours, typical retail cons

Good and Bad

Pharmacy Assistant (Former Employee) - Lismore NSW - 19 July 2022

Liked the employees. They would rather hire more people then train the ones they have. Being on the register sucked. Hard to know where you stand with management

Pros

Free expired products

Cons

Standing all day at a register

worst workplace culture I've ever seen. staff are wannabe mean girls clique

Pharmacy Assistant (Former Employee) - Sydney Western Suburbs NSW - 5 July 2022

Was good the first 2 weeks then everyone showed their true colours. Staff members who are mostly all female act like they're still in high school and are very neglecting of new employees. poor management and zero communication skills in the workplace. hours worked are always taken away which means you are underpaid. they will set you up for failure and won't give proper training.. after hours of work an employee will claim you haven't done anything for no particular reason.

Overworked and treated poorly

Pharmacy Assistant (Former Employee) - Forest Hill VIC - 23 May 2022

Very fast paced which is good always lots of things to do except they expect you to do 3 peoples work load and you are yelled at if you don’t finish it. Not allowed to take your breaks if you haven’t finished the job you are mid way through doing even though there’s plenty of staff that could take over or you can finish it after your break. No good for people entering into the pharmacy field you can’t ask questions without being screamed at. Very hard to learn new things as no one wants to help you without being nasty and frustrated with you. They’ll target employees bully them and bully anyone else who is nice to them. Not worth the minimum wage you will be paid.

Pros

None

Cons

Bully environment, rude staff, poor management.

Priceline itself is great we are Franchise stores though and some of the franchisees run the business without care for team

To many chiefs you have Franchise bosses plus corporate bosses and conflicting information and expectations It’s very hard to be able to get clear directions when each person has a different view

Pros

Great place to work but be prepared to learn a lot of information.

Sales Assistant (Former Employee) - Willetton WA - 10 January 2022

Priceline has been excellent to work for.They are highly focused on staff wellbeing and safety. They are passionate about providing a great experience for customers. However, there is a lot of products and information to learn, and I had no training on anything. I've learnt from casual conversations with other staff, but no specified training on skincare/makeup/other and nothing on the brands we sell. Customers expect staff to have a lot of knowledge and as a new staff member with no training, it's very hard.

Pros

Nice xmas gift, Great co workers, Great management

Cons

Staff only get 10% discount which is the lowest I have ever experienced in retail, Expected to have product knowledge with no training

Lots of training of products provided and management are willing to teach if you ask

Beauty Advisor (Former Employee) - Brisbane QLD - 5 January 2022

Loads of training for products available. Company reps come visit to do mini trainings and offer samples to try. Management and higher do seem genuinely concerned about their employees, and have a good relationship with unions.

Pros

samples of products to try

Fast paced, lovely girls on floor but…..

Pharmacy Assistant (Former Employee) - Maryborough VIC - 6 October 2021

Lovely customers and girls on the floor are lovely to work with but you are just a number. Under paid for what you do. White coats and dispensary are always treated differently to the other staff. To much work with to short of time to complete. Unrealistic KPIs. Management try their best but owners do not care. It used to be a family first company but now all about the profits. Not paid for time you actually worked only rostered hours.

Cons

Under paid

terrible environment wouldnt recoment working here to anyone

Sales Assistant (Former Employee) - Woy Woy NSW - 16 August 2021

a typical day at work was getting talked about badly by other co workers, boss/manager treating staff awfully, nothing to do all day, no training, high expectations and 0 reward for when you complete a 'job' properly. management so bad in desperate need of an update of management style and way of operation.
