Overworked and not appricated

Team Member (Current Employee) - Geelong VIC - 17 August 2023

Starting off managers and other staff where very delightful and managment was very understanding of work life balance. However as you start being more involved managers start to ignore your work-life balance and expect you to work with little notice and little compensation. Also managment never hires enough people to keep profits up so you are constantly overworked and doing the job of 2-3 people in a day, Futhermore they dont except little changes in uniforms to suit peoples needs.

Horrible

Werribee (Current Employee) - Werribee VIC - 16 August 2023

The job is monotonous but the pay more than average as you're working late night. It does a toll on your back . Not suitable for a long term career. But the job is mentally stressless

Workplace culture was non existent

Retail Assistant/Customer Service (Former Employee) - Big top, maroochydore - 15 August 2023

Like working for any large company, you are a number and nothing more. Immediate managers were great, but as soon as you got above store management, you were looked at like a freshly stood in dog poo Avoid, please don’t do this to yourself

There are worse places to work

Storeperson (Current Employee) - Caboolture QLD - 9 August 2023

Isnt a terrible job, it seems to get worse as time goes on though. Hours are consistently cut shorter and shorter every week, making it very difficult to meet company expectations as there arent enough staff on at any given time

Retail (Former Employee) - Australia - 8 August 2023

Things got stressful during busy hours. The challenges include handling rude customers from time to time. Although the colleagues were very nice to work with.

Decent place to work but had some issues.

Team Member (Former Employee) - Tuggerah NSW - 8 August 2023

If you have a physical/mental disability which limits your hours, they will try and push those boundaries. If you don’t give in to this and push yourself past your limit, they will start to give you less and less shifts. Your value as a worker is less on how good you are at your job, but more about how many shifts you can fill and commit to.Rostering isn’t all organised in advance. you’re always being called in to work the morning of rather than earlier. This made it hard to balance other commitments with work due to the lack of predictability. Even if you record in advance that you’re unavailable on certain days, they’ll still roster you on for those days.You do get good training at the start to ensure you succeed and coworkers are always motivated to help out. If you don’t have a disability or other study/work commitments, Woolies is a great place to work.

Okay.

Retail (Current Employee) - Melbourne VIC - 7 August 2023

Working at woolworths is just okay. Most managers do not care about your wellbeing or how you are doing, and everything has to do with the bottom dollar. It would be nice if the company cared more about their employees than just the money!

not bad

Fresh Produce Team Member (Current Employee) - Chester Hill NSW - 5 August 2023

I've been working at Woolworths for the past two years, and I must say it has been an incredibly positive experience. From the moment I joined the team, I felt welcomed and supported by my colleagues and managers.One of the best aspects of working at Woolworths is the sense of teamwork and camaraderie. The company places a strong emphasis on collaboration, and everyone is encouraged to contribute their ideas and suggestions. Whether it's during team meetings or daily interactions, I always felt that my opinions were valued and taken into account.Another standout feature is the focus on employee training and development. Woolworths invests in its employees' growth by offering various training programs and opportunities for advancement. I've had the chance to attend workshops and seminars that have not only enhanced my skills but also boosted my confidence in my role.The company culture at Woolworths is one that promotes work-life balance. I appreciate the flexibility in scheduling, which has allowed me to manage my personal life effectively. Moreover, the management has been understanding and accommodating when it comes to unforeseen circumstances, making it a truly supportive environment.The benefits and perks at Woolworths are also commendable. Apart from the competitive salary, there are employee discounts on store products, which is a fantastic incentive for team members. Additionally, the health and wellness initiatives have been instrumental in promoting a healthy lifestyle among employees.Of course, no workplace is without its challenges, but at Woolworths, I -

Good flexibility

Delicatessen Assistant (Former Employee) - Moonee Ponds VIC - 3 August 2023

Great job while you are a student. Good flexibility with hours and shifts. But managers make you feel awful for calling in sick. Sustained a back injury while leaning in the deli case all the time.
