Pros
- friendly people at branches - free coffee - work life balance is okay
Kontras
- no structure to the 'graduate program' - minimal training, being thrown into tasks - low salaries outside of management and key accounts - weekly unpaid overtime (the 'profit share bonus' barely makes up for the low salaries let alone all the overtime) - a 'lazy mans' job - talking to tradies over the counter and on the phone, then packing up their goods to be delivered or taken to their van. In the downtime, you can expect to stock shelves, perform stocktakes and chat with coworkers. Realistically, this job is more suited to high school graduates and could offer decent progression in that case. - inappropriate comments and unprofessionalism - boring and repetitive tasks, no challenges, no development of skills outside of communication - almost nonexistent gender diversity and lack of diversity in general
