Being a Woolworths employee is the best as you get to develop yourself whether business wise or going bavk to school. Its the best place to be.

Understandably retail has hardly to No weekends, but maybe they could work on accomodating every second weekend. The amount of work ratio to pay ratio is not very good. Managers are reasonable and benefits are good. You have plenty of security and room for growth. But the growth takes a long time and too many channels and procedures that it hardly seems – more...  like you growing. So yes it has all that you need. But the salary is very poor. It is an ok starting job for a student on their own starting out but not a long term job. – less

Woolworths was at the heart of the town and well established.
The store was always busy with customers of all ages. There was always a friendly atomosphere as the staff where easily approachable and very helpful.The most enjoyable part of the job was full filling customer requests in return they left the store happy.
The hardest part of the job was – more...  trying to protect stock from shoplifters.
All staff got along with each other and worked well in teams and unsupervised.
Management where always at hand and friendly and approachable. – less

My day at work is different every day. It never the same hence why I like the challenge.

I first do Perishable to do the 'out of date' code, ensure the rotation date is done, the date is in the RF gun. Facing. Unpacking and stocking up shelf..in the meantime, I continue to assist Customer's enquiries. And I continue to assist on check out when called.

On – more...  a split shift, I supervised the Front desk late afternoon to night. Sometime I do operator.

Other split shift is Ticket on a Tuesday night.

I get along very well with all co-workers in the four years I have been in Woolworths...but When I do have problems hence my hearing disability, I quickly resolved the problem by sorting it out with the person.

This is the same with Customers, I am very fortunately that Customers know me well enough now to communicate effectively with me.

The hardest part of the job is when I cannot assist a customer with their enquiries, eg: not in stock, discontinue, deleted line, out of stock. I tried my hardest and feel sad that we, worthworth had to cut down on stocks to make way for new brands and/or it not selling, It frustuated the customers.

The most enjoyable part of the job is when Customers come in and say your name and a lovely Hello. I enjoy my work and look forward to coming into work. – less

fun but should be more focus on management skills
managers should comunicate more with other managers on working and what is required

This company is easy to work for, they strive to settle you into your job as much as they can. They have high standards of dress and conduct. The managers perhaps do not communicate as well as they could.

Woolworths was a great first job for me as it helped me truly understand the world of work.

I enjoyed working for Woolworths, i worked with some great people who were kind and helpful, the group of people I worked with always insured that when doing difficult jobs help to make it easy and done in a safe manner, we look out for one another.

Woolworths is a great place to work and the management and other employees are great to work with.

I worked here for a few years and no matter how hard you work or how many favors you do they usually just repay your by cutting your hours etc.. your not important to them as they can just replace you easily.

Woolworths was a good company to work for,it was a nice,relaxed atmosphere and a great bunch of people.,and Woolworths was a safe place to work

I enjoyed working at Woolworths for the short time I was there, however balancing young children and night work at the time proved to be a little difficult, so I gave it up for daytime school hours. I am now applying for a job within the Woolworths Group hoping to be a succesful candidate at our new Market Place opening later this year, as my first – more...  preference would be to be a part of the Masters Team as I have a Diploma Of Interior Design and have been working in the Home Improvement industry for many years. – less

Centre for 3 yrs and thoroughly enjoyed working as a part time night filler.Worked under friendly and dedicated team work and took keen pride in setting up the store presentation and helping in customer service.

Good company to work for. Our customers and our people expect us to take a lead on issues such as this. Our ‘Good business journey’ is, therefore, the result of a comprehensive and systematic review of the way Woolworths addresses the issue of sustainable growth within the context of the changing social and environmental needs of South Africa. It is – more...  a five year plan, changing the way we do business, and incorporating a series of challenging targets and commitments, centered on four key priorities: accelerating transformation, driving social development, enhancing our environmental focus, and addressing climate change – less
