Pros

pay was good for store set up.. probably blew the budget there

Cons

DO NOT BE A CASUAL! Was hired as a casual just before the store has opened. Requested 1 week notice period that i owed to my pervious job that was completely ignored. Manger demands your availability then completely ignores that too. Casuals had to fill out annual leave forms to get a day off- was easier to call in sick. Management treated casuals horribly and used us to do all the hard labour of setting up the store. Set up the store for 2 weeks, worked in the actual store 3 times and got all my hours cut and given an pathetic excuse of budgeting cuts. If you can't afford it why hire some many people? Manager eventually stopped sending me the roster, they would give me a shift or 2 then about an hour before i meant to start they will either phone or email you to cancel. Communication with management was always very passive aggressive as though i was wasting their time talking to them but when boxing day rolled around i was treated like the greatest employee ever until i arrived for work where i received condescending comments from management and full timers about not being able to remember how to do everything because i hadn't work there in a month and a half. Don't bother, the whole company is filled with snobby catty people who think that they are so important to the rest of the world.

Pros

There aren’t many pros, pretty chill coworkers I suppose

Cons

Managment is a mess, filled with people who really don’t know what they’re doing and they have empolyees who’s sole purpose is being on their phones and not working, the “GM” is a wreck and doesn’t know how to properly soeak to people as she believes she’s above everyone, and regional isn’t much better
