If you are looking for a good reference and experience i would recommend it.
There is too much pressure especially when they are promitions and sale. You find that you are short staffed and the supervisors are on your neck about being quicker to keep the customers happy, knowing very well that if you make a mistake and get any discrepancies on your cash or get cloned cards you will be dismissed. Salary wise i think they can do better.

There good management skills within the group managers, and consideration for all those who works within the company's premises to be heard and assisted where possible.
My typical day was always exciting with open door Management and Senior Management, and respectable and hard working staff. It was always a pleasure working for this company. My Line Manager was and energetic and fun loving individual, with an professional outlook within his department. This Business will change your whole outlook on Supply Chain (FMCG).

Then tea time after 10am for 15mins depending on your shift roaster.Then well work in a very good environment till lunch at about 12:30 for an half an hour till tea time at about 3pm for 15mins. up until 5:30pm till the end of the day there was always the option of working in extra hours after your shift has ended.
Pros
Lots of prizes to be won, free lunches from time to time

Interacting with customers is one of the best thing I enjoy because you get to learn different things. They teach you how life is and how you handle it.
Woolworths was the best Job ever, they take care of their staff. They culture is for their people they invest in their stuff and you feel like family that works together
Pros
You can earn as much as you like
Cons
You have to sleep there sweat for that money
I've been with Woolies for more than 8 years and left to pursue other challenges. Definitely a brand with Integrity. SCLT team are actively involved in the organisation. Organisation is alot bigger than meets the eye.....
Pros
Visible leadership, Career growth potential, fair, values driven, transparent, job security, work life balance
Cons
Salaries need improvement, should look at promoting internally before filling in roles from the outside
I loved working at WW and was proud to say that I was a Woolies employee. I loved the brand loved their business ethics. Excellent benefits - Staff discounts. They have a culture that encourages growth. Hardwork is recognised. If you like change, there is room within the company to change. You can request a 3 month secondment to see if you would like a particular role
Pros
Great staff benefits
Cons
Not really any
Woolworths has no racism amongst employees and their trainings do help a lot
Me making sure the customer leaves happy was so cerfying being confident
