Come on Woolworths! I want to work in Airconditioning. 5 years ago i would have stayed at bunnings even if woolies did have Ac. These days though the pressures on and the staff are just pushed and pushed.
Bunnings thinks they have the best service, yet we all know that the best service costs a lot more than the peanuts theyre paying staff at the moment. The level of service i give customers reflects the pay rate i'm on, so thats why you'll probarbly find allot of staff talking in little groups together. I'm leaving too. The pay is poor considering they provide trade advice.
youll find that bunnings not only pay higher than the award they also have the best working conditions andprovide the most training out of any company in this industry...im not in NZ but in my store everyone is valuable i love my job and so do most people i work along side. and it sadens me to think that you guys have had a bad experience with such a great company..
Mate, I dunno what store you worked at but consider yourself lucky! Sure they pay higher than the average award wage, but they could pay more. I worked at the Townsville store, and they always had budget cuts at christmas, tehrefore less staff on floor and less stock on shelves. How the fuck does amulti-BILLION dollar company have budget cuts at the most important time of year?!?!?! I now support my local business and work at M10 (locally owned franchise)
I have to agree, I have been with Bunnings (Vic) for 8 1/2 years. The pay is Well ABOVE award wage. I worked for KFC for 14 years prior to Bunnings. Bunnings certainly know how to treat and reward employees. KFC, a Global comany could most certainly take a few tips from Bunnings on how to treat team members! Bunnings is like all BIG Companies, they have their flaws and the bottom line is Profit! But I'm happy where I am!
Bunnings used to value team members but now they value profit. This is the start of the downward spiral for Bunnings. Unhappy floor staff equals poor levels of work performace, increased theft and general loss of sales. Well done management you have screwed the company long term for short term gains.
At least they stood up for what was right!!! Good on em! Fuck the management, they are all arrogant cunts, that is all Bunnings want to employ to run their stores!!! That's why its full of corporate greed and unhappy staff in many stores

They aren't actually that bad, they give okay wages for most, and if you are qualified by certificate, you get monster pay!
Choice! :)
