NEWSAGENT

The management at the news agency I worked at was certainly not up to standard. I would not recommend it. One of my managers would continuously lightly insult everything I did. When I brought this to attention they offered to only give me shifts with the other manager but that would mean I lost almost all of my shifts. I ended up quitting because it was easier to find another job than to try and financially survive on so little money.

A typical day at work would be very slow a lot of the time so i would wonder around the store a just looking for things to do (and there wasn't usually anything). At certain times it got very busy with mainly people coming in and asking for lottery tickets. It was very stressful for a first ever job but i learned a lot about customer service in my time working there. The culture at my workplace was something i did not expect and i think they expected a lot from me in such a short time.

Small and local businesses can be good places to work in terms of coworkers and the fact that you have a lot of regulars and the overall community can be good. But often times you will be paid under the table - I am payed well under the award rates and in cash, often times calculateed wrong. Knowing how to do lottos can be tricky to learn and will take time. It is a much chiller retail job however compared to others and also hospitality

Working at a newsagent taught me a lot of customer service skills. Working with very complex sales in terms of lottery tickets and scratchies always kept you thinking. My feet and back used to get very sore.

Was a fun and productive workplace to be a part of, hours were great until the end of my employment. Staff were friendly and fun to be around. Took away a lot of new experiences that have helped me with my current job

Although I did not get paid, working with Newsagent was a delightful time. I have nothing but gratitude for them. Work hours were not painfully long and you had discounts and long breaks.

Receiving newspapers in the morning looking after staff and customers inquiries. Looking after sales reps that called into the business, sending out invoices for customers.
