Front end is so repetitive, it’s painful on the body. Management don’t care let alone acknowledge you unless you are a department manager.

Retail Assistant (Current Employee) - Tweed Heads NSW - 13 January 2023

This can be a secure long term job. If you have a personality you will generally not advance much in the company, strangely enough the non communicator seems to advance. You will get hardly any permanent hours. Managers can just hire people and put them on full time without asking long term employees about the positions available because it’s easier for them not to change the rosters, basically they just slot people in someone else’s position when they leave. Just remember you are just a number, there is no loyalty and bullying can be a horrible culture where nothing is done. Repetitive work without rotation.

Pros

Permanent work

Cons

Repetition, painful on your body from being in one position. It’s poor pay. Manager is unpredictable.

Mentally Draining

This company has no regard for its workers despite the things they say. A new rostering system has started in the shops which is causing many, many problems which has led to mass demoralization across the country. I have no experienced anything like this in the 7 years I have worked here. This has caused resignations. They are wanting new people in to replace those who have left because they are unaware of the RT3 system.This is why you're seeing many job openings.An extremely toxic environment created by upper management which directly affects everyone below.Understaffed & extremely underpaid, people don't take their ENTITLED breaks so they can get the work done an appease upper management.Avoid if you can.
