Pros
having a minimum wage job
Cons
-Management hierarchy - Silence, and no shifts as a bullying tactic - Poor understanding of mental health - Unsafe back rooms: Boxes only becoming safe heights when they know Worksafe is doing visits - Understaffing and overworking employees during peak season, and giving no hours during off peak. - High turnover of seasonal staff; disposable peak season staff – seen only as the number they’re assigned. - Training the Winter full time staff in the loading zone back room – a 2 week intensive of no talking and just getting clothes out of boxes: bad conditions, no windows, smells of human faeces (located near the sewerage pipes etc). - Racially profiling potential customers as possible theft “CODE 11” - Making staff feel guilty for not hitting target; and told they won’t get shifts
