Pros

- You can meet great people who are fun to work with. - Depending on the store (mainly stores other than wangara) you can have a low stress working environment. - Work from 9am - 5pm or 10am -6pm - You get to work with the newest computer hardware. - Occasional staff dinners

Cons

- Upper management entirely ignores staff feedback. - 13+ people left the Wangara store in little over a year due to poor management. - Depending on your position you may be strong armed into working overtime even if you are on your allocated days off. This happened almost every month even though we had casual staff available to fill the position. - Still payed minimum wage while performing harder rolls such as a technician. - Very little room to grow within the company. Your time working for the company wont often reflect your position. Some new staff are promoted in under a year while other who have been with the company for 5+ are still in sales/tech positions. - "Lower level" staff are prevented from entering the queue to purchase new highly sort after hardware. - Staff that are performing less that ideal will have shifts cut without being approached by management. I seen this happen to 4 people during my time at the Wangara store.

Pros

Good place to work for university students as you mostly work the weekends Get paid casual rate extra 25% Great learning experience and staff incentives (discount sometimes or home brand free) Isn’t busy every single minute Mostly everyone working there is easy to get along and are very helpful If you make it to casual manager you get paid per hour more than standard pay ($7 extra per hour)

Cons

Not a huge future or room for promotion, highest promotion you can get as a casual is weekend manager, which is great but you still only get 2 shifs per week as manager Limited shifts during non peak times
