Great Fundraiser
Stocktaker (Former Employee) - Alexandra, Otago - 24 February 2021
Indeed Featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedWe did this as a fundraiser along with a few other groups who were also fundraising for various sporting and cultural activities. It can be hard work depending what areas you are counting in, and you need to have your wits about you sometimes, but it is a lot of fun.It's a shame that The Warehouse isn't giving community groups the opportunity to do the stocktake in 2021. Fundraising is hard in a small town so doing the stocktake is awesome. A lot of these groups depend on this income to allow the kids to take part in their chosen activity. Sad times.
Pros
Fun environment
Cons
Can get pretty dirty/dusty!

Productive.
Work placement worker (Former Employee) - Whangarei, Northland - 5 June 2020
I don't mind working in the warehouse they have a lot of categories to work around so you will never get bored. The hardest part about working at the warehouse would have to be the stock room. I really enjoyed the front of the house service. I would definitely work there again.

Fun workplace
Warehouse work (Former Employee) - Napier, Hawke's Bay - 14 May 2020
It was fun working at The Warehouse, I learned on how to talk more with people and build a very good relationship with many different people. The hardest would be getting backaches lifting heavy things but it was very good experience. I think the most part that I enjoyed was making new friends with different people.

Fun and generous workplace.
Retail Assistant (Current Employee) - Auckland Airport, Auckland - 11 May 2020
I enjoyed working at the warehouse apart of work experience because the staff members were supportive and dedicated to their works. The hardest part was standing for long hours but it was enjoyable working alongside good company and seeing the results of the work you've done pay off.
Pros
Generous employees that provide great support for newcomers and tasks aren't necessarily hard.
Cons
Non-stop standing and walking and sometimes it does get tiring.

Jobs at THE WAREHOUSE
The Warehouse - Red Shirts in Community Work Experience.
Red Shirts in Community (Former Employee) - Hamilton, Waikato - 30 March 2020
It gave me a feel of what full time work is like, 5 days a week 8:30am to 5:30pm. I moved stock, checked best by dates in the food area, restocked drinks in the fridges and sorted clothes for stock take. overall it was interesting to see behind the scenes and how the store is run.

productive and supportive atmosphere
CHECKOUT OPERATOR (Current Employee) - Nelson City, Nelson - 1 March 2020
have a positive and productive work culture in the workplace. Besides, the management appreciates the flexibility of work, time and designation. I'm satisfied with my present work but have to move forward in my profession and want to explore other fields in retail.

It was good.
Customer Service (Former Employee) - Airport Oaks, Auckland - 16 February 2020
i enjoyed going to work, the staff were very welcoming when i started and i was able to feel comfortable and safe. Everyone was friendly and cheerful. Our managers were great too. A typical day at work usually starts quiet, then as the day goes on it gets busy. Ill either be on checkouts most of the day and sometimes id go off and do returns. Most enoyable part of the job would probaly have to be the staff and also helping customers in need.

Overall awesome job, felt like i contributed to the growth of this department
Jewellery supervisor (Former Employee) - Christchurch City, Canterbury - 27 January 2020
Overall I really enjoyed working for the warehouse jewelry, the down side was not having support when needed when busy, in quiet times definitely needed something else to do. With the right people the department could be so much more.

productive and great place to work
Shop floor and nightfill worker (Former Employee) - Dunedin, Otago - 26 January 2020
The warehouse is a fun place to work. The staff on the shop floor are great to work with even though management had favourites . They have a great social club and tried to get the three shifts together when doing things . There were three shifts days/nights and backshift . The first to are shop floor as we are open till midnight The last on was a fill team which was a very fast paced job as there was a lot of stock to put out as sometimes we would get 100 pallets of stock in a day. I have worked on all these shifts and found the staff great to work with even though at times we were very busy and under staffed. The warehouse is a store that sells everything from manchester/sporting/furniture/houseware/clothing/toys so is similar to kmart Some of my roles were team member/team leader and duty manager and enjoyed all these rolls even though they could be stressfull at times and the hours of work took a lot out of you especally the backshift . But i enjoyed my time there and the only reason i left was to come over to australia as my wife wanted to return home.
Pros
A great team to work with
Cons
Always giving more work with less time and staff

not too bad
casual worker (Current Employee) - Porirua, Wellington - 25 January 2020
- it's not too bad for a first job, working at the checkouts is pretty straightforward once you keep practicing.
- i don't like that the 30 minute unpaid meal break is automatically taken out of your hours- sometimes they'll make me stay an extra half hour but i don't end up being paid for it because it will be counted as an unpaid meal break.
- management is ok however the in-store advertisements NEED TO BE MANAGED PROPERLY!! there have been so many times old sale signs have been left up and customers have gotten angry at the checkout people, which is really annoying.
Pros
learn about retail, talk to people and build confidence
Cons
dealing with rude or stuck up customers, managers sometimes not doing their jobs, no air con in store, no team discount for casuals
