Fast-paced and busy workplace
Checkout Operator (Current Employee) - Canberra ACT - 21 January 2020
I am usually placed on Checkout Counters but am occasionally also stationed in Self Checkout.
The job takes a little getting used to for anyone not used to fast paced environments, but once you get the hang of it it's easy and you're working alongside a big supportive team which makes it better.
The hardest part of the job for the time I've been employed here is I feel I haven't been treated completely fairly since being employed.
I have dealt with some attitude towards me from my manager and have recently started to be taken off shifts and am now hardly receiving any shifts at all.

It was okay, must have priorities in order first.
Front End (Former Employee) - Canberra ACT - 15 November 2019
I worked 35 hours 6 days a week during high school and it's tough, just make sure you only do what you can as obviously school is very important. Also most of what I had to do I wasn't taught and had to learn on my own. But it was worth it as I loved helping people and you meet some customers who you'll never forget :).

stressful
Nightfill Associate (Former Employee) - Canberra ACT - 19 October 2019
Long hours no break. understaffed. coworker intimidating.told to ignore but it continued to stress me out. A lady picked up a knife and told another lady to back off. was told it was joking and I was been too critical. A guy said he was joking but seems like he was yelling also tried to scare me, trip me and said stop talking and work. Assistant Manager said I wasn't sharpest tool in shed.

Team Member (Former Employee) - Canberra ACT - 18 October 2019
This company is a good beginners job for newcomers of the working enviornment. I enjoyed the slow pace and large staff size that allowed me develop my skills as an employee.

Happening atmosphere with lots of work pressure
(Woden) - Check out OPERATOR (Current Employee) - Canberra ACT - 22 August 2019
For being busy with customers and full in foot steps makes us typical for all around working hours as we do have to make customers wait for long. I learned handing work pressure from here by keeping customer happy and delight. working culture is good as all peer staffs are good in nature and helping each other.

Jobs at Woolworths Supermarket
in Canberra ACTGood First Job
Customer Service Team Member (Current Employee) - Canberra ACT - 4 March 2019
I worked for Woolworths for a year and a half and it just got a bit boring.
It includes long hours of standing and by the end of a short shift, my legs and feet would hurt a lot.
However, they did not look at my availability so I had to keep declining and cancelling shifts.
Pros
No experience needed, good breaks, good first job
Cons
Minimum pay, poor management, not many shifts

It's a job.
Inventory Team Member (Former Employee) - Canberra ACT - 9 October 2018
Not a professional environment.
It is similar to high school with pay, you do your chores and basic work and then gossip begins.
The job itself is simple and just about anyone can do it. To be honest I would rather not have an income then complete menial tasks for the rest of my life. If you need money and expect to move on to something better I recommend it. Just don't think of it as a career unless you have zero aspirations in life.
Pros
Simple, no skill.
Cons
Co-workers, Pay, Organisation of management, general feel of apathy.

Predictable
Cashier / Service Supervisor (Current Employee) - Canberra ACT - 22 February 2017
Working at Woolworths is pretty much what you'd expect - repetitive and all the employees want to go home as soon as they get there. You know exactly what to expect and you learn a lot about customer service and patience. Pay isn't awesome but join the union to get a pretty significant increase. Started working there at 15 and am still there. Recommend it to young people as a clean and easy part time job, definitely better than hospitality and/or prostitution.
Pros
Easy
Cons
Customers
