My position is all about learning creating expanding and having fun with the customers. If you aren't able to do any of this then don't work for them as you will not get the desired results in my review summary, (work and have fun). The days can be pretty full on with promotional setups, stock processing and merchandising happening in one day. I have learnt a lot more here about how a business works in relation to KPI's. You treat the store as if it were your own. Management are very approachable most times when they aren't flat out themselves. Co workers are also a lot of fun to work with but unfortunately you don't get to spend a whole day together. There really aren't any hard parts to this job. The most enjoyable part is when it is really busy especially at Christmas cause the atmosphere is noisy and bustling with loads of people having a great time trying all the demo products in store.

a typical day at work would be either greeting customers, handing them catalogs and helping them find what they were looking for or i would be on the till serving customers, bagging their purchases and putting through their payments. i learnt how to follow CHOICE which was the way they ran the company, i also learnt how to operate a different till system, how to make phone orders, how to assist people in finding out what it was they were looking for and i learnt how to manage difficult customers.

it was fun in the end, it was a bit difficult for the first few days because I didn't know all the products and it was hard for me to explain them but I got used to it and learnt what to do in that situation

No day was ever boring at this workplace, fellow staff were friendly and hard working and it was always fun to come to work. It was hard during sale and christmas periods but that made the job more interesting. I would return to this store in a heartbeat.

There is a reason why this company is gone, terrible place to work where they try to underpay you, do not follow contracts for part time staff and expect staff to work for free.

Only worked there over the Christmas period. Very busy of course but fun.
I had lovely co-workers and a great store manager.
The only problem I had was I didn't get hired to work there after the Christmas period as previous staff got priority, which was fair. I would expect that.


Australian was great place to initially work with guaranteeing a great learning experience and management roles. The shop always gave you the opportunity to work independently which was great for management roles.

They were really helpful in helping me grow. Was an amazing place to start working and I was able to really flourish in places like register because i had a wonderful team who made me feel comfortable and not undermine my confidence, which has happened elsewhere unfortunately.

I loved working there and i met some new friends. I just love the way work and play are incorporated so well that it makes you feel happy to go into work each and everyday! I highly recommend this company :)

Fantastic team environment
Always things to do and customers to interact with
Sell great and unusual products
Challenging remerching and stock management tasks help keep you on your toes.
