Employees appreciate the friendly and supportive team members on the shop floor, who create a positive working environment and make the role enjoyable. The staff discount is noted as generous, and many employees find customer interactions rewarding. Working at Myer also provides valuable retail skills, including experience in customer service, transaction processing, and floor management.
However, there are some potential challenges, including inconsistent management support with limited communication from managers, shift irregularity with cancelled shifts and inconsistent hours, and limited initial training with expectations to learn quickly on the job. Staffing levels can be stretched during busy periods, and some employees have observed workplace dynamics that include cliques and favouritism. Additionally, pay rates are based on an agreement rather than an award, and some employees have noted concerns about unpaid overtime expectations.
