Fun place to work meeting lots of different and interesting people. Busy but makes the shifts go faster always something to learn. Must like people as interacting with customers is important.

great start

Excellent rewarding job with awesome customers and co workers. Amazing to work for a small business that truely values you as an employee and doesn't treat you as a number.

Great first job!

Checkout Assistant (Former Employee) - Macquarie Centre NSW - 28 September 2023

Great introduction to the workforce as a young adult. Woolworths provides professional training (paid for) and teaches you important skills for future jobs.

Good workplace

Cashier (Former Employee) - Sydney NSW - 27 September 2023

Very good workplace with good colleagues and good management. Management we’re understanding of personal events. But sometimes was difficult to get hours.

Easy Going

Checkout Operator (Former Employee) - Portarlington VIC - 11 September 2023

I worked at Woolworths for around 3 years as a checkout operator. The staff and customers were lovely, and once you get the hang of the job, it’s really easy and laid back. Personally my only issue was getting rostered outside of my rostered hours.

Bad

Cashier (Current Employee) - Corio VIC - 25 June 2023

Bad workplace conditions and culture- poorly paid and understaffed. I would not recommend Woolworths to work at all. Management would often bully staff which I witnessed

Decent but toxic co-workers

Cashier (Former Employee) - Morayfield QLD - 18 May 2023

The job itself wasn't particularly difficult and the pay could have been better (not suprising) but it was the toxic, childish co-workers that really made it unbearable to be honest. And I'm not talking about the actual teenagers.

Easy work, horrible boss

Cashier (Former Employee) - Northern Beaches NSW - 1 May 2023

Horrible boss who did not care about her employees - I had put in 2 weeks of "not available" (I was a casual) and she still rostered me on and expected me to be there. Work itself was easy.

Quick to learn. Good training. Hours ok. Can vary greatly either early starts or late Finnish if casual. Can be a fun environment within the team. Enjoyed serving a vast array of customers.

Okay

Cashier (Former Employee) - Nhulunbuy NT - 21 February 2023

The pay wasn't the best being 15 years old but provided an entry-level job in the retail industry. It is what you make it, some of the people I worked with were awesome. I recommend any other position than front-end.

Good first job

Checkout Operator (Former Employee) - Townsville QLD - 26 January 2023

It is a good job for your first job, very flexible with shifts. They offer a lot of shifts to you, so it’s easy to get enough hours to pay for your bills.

Pros

Flexibility

Cons

Pay

Very boring

Casual cashier (Former Employee) - Sunshine Coast QLD - 23 January 2023

Some people might to be able to cope with a job at Woolworths in terms of being mentally-engaging, or lack there-off. However for me It's pretty painful. Management positions are probably a little more interesting but still not fulfilling. the work is very easy and not very physical, though people with back problems should be wary of doing long shifts, and make sure you try to change positions when you can.casual is very flexible, great for students!

Pros

occasional free snacks/fruit in lunchroom, occasional good chats with customers

Cons

Boring and unfulfilling, self-entitled and lazy customers

Recommend for young people

Cashier (Former Employee) - Katoomba NSW - 7 January 2023

Pretty average experience working here but fresh out of high school and looking for money it was perfect for a while. Not the job you want to stay in for the long run
