Retail Assistant (Former Employee) – Feilding, Manawatu-Wanganui – 5 January 2019
The time I spent working at the warehouse I was in High School and management was very good at giving me work that revolved around my study and school/sporting lifestyle. Reviews of staff were done regularly and pay rises were given when deserved. If you showed interest in advancement in the workplace, help was given and you were trained well for the position.
Pros

Can get very boring

Boring and lifeless workplace
Checkout Operator (Current Employee) – Papamoa, Bay of Plenty – 6 December 2018
everyone who worked there either didn't want to work there or had just given up. a typical day was clocking in, standing in the same spot for hours and then clocking out and leaving as soon as you possibly can.
Pros
money
Cons
everything else
People's talents are not recognised. You're just a number.
Stockroom - the only one there (Former Employee) – Queenstown, Otago – 6 December 2018
Very talented and organised people are treated as just another number. If you resign as you should when you recognise the indifferent work ethics of management their attitude is " there's plenty more out there that will work for minimum wage". And don't worry if you don't speak English - near enough is good enough!!! Pity they don't realise Kiwis have stopped shopping there because they can't understand the staff.
Pros
Every day is a busy day. Completing your work load for the day brings a lot of satisfaction
Cons
Pointless friggin' meetings
Great work place
Work Experience (Former Employee) – Thames, Waikato – 28 November 2018
I learnt how to interact and deal with customers that were unhappy with products in the store. The most enjoyable part of work experience for me was working alongside people I knew and was able to lean on the staff that were employed for guidance. The people were very open and enthusiastic which made being there a good experience.
always getting the job done, fun working place
Work Experience (Former Employee) – Hastings, Hawke's Bay – 18 November 2018

Pros

Checkout Operator/ Online Shopper (Former Employee) – Christchurch New Zealand – 30 September 2018
Everyone in the staff all got along with each other. It was a very "team" based workplace and made sure everyone was safe and happy. The hardest part about working at "The Warehouse" was having to listen to the same songs every single day. I enjoyed working with the customers and making sure I could give them the best experience of "the Warehouse" I could give them.
Pros
Gave lots of shifts over the Christmas holidays
Cons
My contract ended
Productive, fun,safe workplace
Work Experience (Former Employee) – Takanini, Auckland – 28 August 2018
Doing work experience for the warehouse was a whole new experience for me. Learning new skills and experiencing what customer service was like is a fun an exciting experience.Learning how to pick up calls from customers and other team member's was the most thing i was afraid of. I overcame this by giving it a go. I found this interesting and exciting to do. Out of all I found this whole experience enjoyable.
