Productive and good support from managers.
Admin Officer (Current Employee) – Brisbane QLD – 25 September 2018
The day can get very busy very quickly, but when working as a team, problems are fixed easily and in a timely manner. The management support you if you need help, and are particularly focused on customer service.
Quiet, but sometimes fun and engaging workplace.
Techzone Salesperson (Current Employee) – Cranbourne VIC – 30 August 2018
As a salesperson, customer interaction is a must. And for me, is the best part of the job. Helping customers to find their wanted items and informing them on all they need to know. It's honestly the best part of the job. I've learnt so much, mainly about my area in which I work in which is the Techzone, where you'll find the computers, phones, tablets and whatnot. I've also learnt the best forms of interaction between a customer and myself. Management there is lacking. Only two in particular of the three aren't very engaging. But the main management is one that puts in the most helping hand. Overall, the job can be a little on the uninteresting side as weekdays are the least busy, but is at its best when a customer does come by seeking for help. To sum it up, it's a wonderful job with a fair amount of lovely staff, but sometimes fairly uncoordinated events and lacking management, as well as poor listing of new shifts due to bad spending.
Pros
Great customer service, lovely employees and fair well-kept and easy to navigate store.
Cons
Lacking management and a few uncaring, cold employees
Great place to start working

Cons

Wouldn't go back..
SALES EXECUTIVE (Former Employee) – Chirnside Park VIC – 31 July 2018
I wouldn't work here again or even shop here again. The management are terrible. They care more about social life aspects then they do about actually working and handling issues. I worked very hard for The Good Guys, I started in the warehouse and worked myself up to sales in less then 4 months. Once i did this they cut my weekend hours, underpaid me on purpose (as well as other staff) and wouldn't allow me to work weekends anymore because I turned 21 and they had to pay me more. After they cut my Saturday shifts they increased my sales targets by another $5,000 and expected me to sell more on our slower days. I'm always up for a challenge but you can't be expected to sell more after loosing the most important day of the week.
Pros
nothing
Cons
everything

Sales, Team member (Former Employee) – Noarlunga Centre SA – 12 September 2017
It was a friendly work place, but as i was casual i didn't have much job security.
I didn't have a very good work life balance so it didn't work for me.

sales professional, part time (Former Employee) – Bunbury WA – 2 August 2017
Other then the constant change of management at the time I was working there, It was a great company to work for and am keen to go back if the chance arises.
Like a lot of places we all felt understaffed until it was quiet and were twiddling our thumbs looking for stock to check.
The admin supervisor who has been there for ever is one of the best people I have worked with.

Fast paced can be a fun environment but when the managers were in a bad mood the workers wore it.
Customer Service Officer (Former Employee) – Mile End SA – 12 July 2017
Fast paced, payed above award rates. Long hours often asked to work back without overtime. Most of the people were easy and great to work with. Just like any other company. Depends on the individual.
Pros
Flexible roster
Cons
Long hours
discounts are good
Sales person (Former Employee) – Warrawong NSW – 15 June 2017
Commission based, a lot of pressure for extended warranties, Christmas time was great money, not a lot of management presence on the floor for discipline or to keep workers on track
Pros
good discounts
Cons
unfair commission
great salary
Casual Sales Assistant (Former Employee) – Geelong West VIC – 12 June 2017
sales hungry enviroment, with great potential earnings. Note each GG site will differ as each are individually owned so the culture will differ. This is a place where if you work hard it will pay off
Pros
added comission
Cons
horrible coworker enviroment. NO team enviroment
No career progression
SALES CONSULTANT (Former Employee) – Brisbane QLD – 3 June 2017
No career progression, stuck in a dead end, brain dead position taking abuse from customers day in day out. Management riding your back about extended warranties. Getting in trouble for not selling a $50 warranty on top of a $20 kettle ect ect. Other staff always stealing your sales. Not a good place to work.
Good
Receptionist (Former Employee) – Oxley QLD – 31 May 2017
The Good guys Oxley was a great company to work for, the team was great to socialize and interact with, we were a big family that had a laugh and accomplished our work with outstanding results. It was a bit of a challenge at times to complete the work needed, but we worked well in a team to help each other complete the tasks.
Great Culture
