A lot of hours a day
Team Member (Former Employee) - Waverley Gardens VIC - 31 May 2022
Indeed Featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedIt was good but I didn't stay for long. When I had to call in sick managers would seem annoyed and told me to tell them a week before as if I can predict stuff like that. They would do that then change my roster in the same week. lol
Pros
good money
Cons
long hours but depends on you

you dont do too much special, just sock shelves and serve customers, there are times where it is very boring and it seems like it drags on forever.
Pros

Poor management
Team leader (Former Employee) - Maddington - 5 March 2022
Management is slack there's no career progression at all no opportunities to move up, not secure work your employed as casual and stay as casual you can't move up the ladder as much as you show you are willing to learn
Pros
15 percent discount

Poor management, very depressing culture.
Team Member (Former Employee) - Bondi Junction NSW - 15 October 2021
In my personal expiernce I dreaded every shift, the management was appalling, I worked there at 16 years old and the manager would leave me by myself in the store on my 4th shift and go shopping. I got asked to leave after two years because I couldn't work on the same day as my HSC exam which was a big red flag for me to leave.
Pros
Good pay, flexibleish
Cons
Bad management and a lot of aggressive customer.

Good entry level job.
casual team member (Current Employee) - Weston Creek ACT - 26 September 2021
Its a good entry level job. It comes with its pros and cons like every job but with the reject shop majority of your expirence will be good. I will warn that some managers are prone to "favouritism" between team members at certain stores.
Pros
Good pay. Entry level job. Easy to learn the ropes.
Cons
Odd break hours

Hated every second here
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) - Campbelltown NSW - 23 September 2021
The only good thing was interacting with the customers, other than that, the management and general environment made it really hard for me to stay positive. I got absolutely bullied there and I would certainly recommend to exit this job advertisement.
Pros
Decent pay
Cons
Managers

Jobs at The Reject Shop
How The Reject Shop really is
Team Member (Casual) (Former Employee) - Mildura VIC - 20 September 2021
This place is the worst to work at, they're toxic, unenthusiastic and make any excuse just to fire you. I will 100% not recommend even if it's seasonal or not it's not worth your time.
Pros
Leaving or not even applying
Cons
No breaks and rude bosses/employees

Would not work there
Retail Assistant (Former Employee) - Australia - 17 September 2021
Worked as a Christmas casual throughout December-Feb. Long shifts, incredibly understaffed and team members weren't friendly. Overworked and was repeatedly guilt-tripped by manager. Little training given and was expected to handle large rushes of customers alone on busy days.
Pros
Good experience
Cons
Long hours, severely understaffed
