Woolworths Supermarket Employee Review

Not the greatest but what job is

Woolworths Team Member (Current Employee) - Parramatta NSW - 23 May 2023

Woolworths is decent don’t get me wrong but it isn’t great. If you’re under 18 I would not recommend you working at Woolworths unless you’re there for spare change which sure that’s good, money is money but it isn’t worth the extra labour and roles you’ll take on. The pay is not worth it unless you’re a casual and over 18, even then it isn’t worth it unless you have another job. Once you hit 18+ and are a casual don’t be shocked when you notice your shifts getting reduced, they’re incredibly cheap. If you’re part time you’re ensured shifts but if you’re casual good luck. Woolworths is good to have for experience on your resume as a beginner in the workforce but that’s about it. Or if you’re needing to get back to work and need some extra cash that’s all about what it’s good for. A lot of the time you’ll be needing to teach yourself how to do things or if they do teach you it’ll be a half job and then you’re supposed to know how to do it all. I guess that’s the way of many workplaces but it’s something that definitely needs to be changed. Specifically within this store what I don’t like is when you say no to ANYTHING they automatically will not like you, treat you differently or give you a smug look. However I will say once you start getting along with people in your team it is easy to develop a sort of relationship with them, that is one thing I’ll say that I like about this store to an extent.I’d rather not say what exact store this is, but it is around the Parramatta/Greater Western Sydney area if that helps with your decision of whether or not you’d like to work with Woolworths.

Boring but flexible job

Team Member (Current Employee) - Melbourne VIC - 5 September 2023

lots of drama between staff, easy but boring work so days drag on a bit, mostly flexible if you have another job/studies to work around. Pay is not great but can get a bit more on weekends
