    The good thingsThe discounts and some of the store team

    The money is not worth the stress of incompetent people that are protected within the company
    The good thingsStaff discount is great
    The challengesThe attitude of the management team all the way down to Melbourne. Personal development is a joke. You guve an inch and they take a mile. You pull them up on it you start greting performanced managed out of the company

    Narre Warren VIC 38051 to 2 years in the role, former employee
    Worst place I have ever worked.
    The good thingsMost co-workers were very nice. Some good discounts on tech.
    The challengesManagement is rude and constantly grumpy, which creates a stressful environment for staff. Customers are the worst part of the job, often being extremely rude and hostile, especially over the phone. Theft is ongoing, with thieves freely coming and going and even threatening workers. In the so-called admin role, you are required to stand in one place for eight hours with nowhere to sit. The expectations are overwhelming for such a low wage. You are expected to answer phones, serve customers, reply to dozens of emails, do banking, print and cut tickets, and manage click and collect all at the same time — while smiling. This is the worst place I have ever worked.

    Warehouse Staff
    Jan 2026
    South Geelong VIC 32202 to 3 years in the role, former employee
    Chronic understaffing, micromanagement and poor leadership, with accountability constantly ignored.
    The good thingsSome of the staff were human and had a heart and cared about those around them, and the staff discounts was a good incentive to stay
    The challengesMinimal training, unrealistic expectations, and extreme micromanagement define this workplace. Staff are criticised and punished when concerns are raised instead of being supported. Micromanagement extends to excessive monitoring, including being followed and waited for outside the bathroom. The workplace is chronically understaffed, particularly in admin and warehouse roles, yet employees are expected to take on management-level responsibilities without additional pay. During peak trade, management offers little support and instead blames frontline staff for delays caused by understaffing. Sales staff prioritise commissions and often ignore customers after the sale, leaving admin and warehouse teams to handle complaints. Favouritism is obvious, accountability is lacking, and issues are routinely swept under the rug, creating a toxic work culture.

    Found my work feet again after losing them for a bit, probably wouldn't work there again, though.
    The good thingsSome good discount on all products across both Good Guys & JB HiFi. Good team that help new employees get used to the systems
    The challengesNot a lot of room to grow/expand. Management can be inexperienced and unsupportive at times, as good ones tend to be pushed out/aside.

    Not worth the mental stress.
    The good thingsMost of the team and the staff discounts.
    The challengesWhere to start? Bare minimum training given and then your expected to know how to do everything and if you don't you get berated for it. Bad store management with unrealistic expectations and belittling comments. Constant push for Telstra and other KPI's which frustrate customers. Out of date systems that constantly crash and are not user friendly. Lying to customers to get sales, no responsibility or accountability from sales team's outstanding sales. Lack of communication and constantly having to fix others mistakes. When things aren't working they make no change to try to improve. Toxic work culture that gets swept under the rug.

    Unclear, no training, no communication. Just a horrible place to be in general.
    The good thingsAlmost nothing at all.
    The challengesSnakey management, coupled with a poor team mentality from the crew make this a pretty toxic place to work. Listen to the reviews. This place is so lowly rated for a reason.

    Okay as a casual job if your studying, but not worth the stress as a career.
    The good thingsStaff Discount and certain co-workers
    The challengesManagement only praise the sales members that get the highest sales, no encouragement to those who don't. No training provided , only 2 days on the computer programs then your on your own . No help from upper management. Admin & warehouse staff totally ignored as part of the team.

    Company doesn't value their employees at all unless you hit the KPI's and targets set of you.
    The good thingsThe customers made things worthwhile.
    The challengesCompany never acknowledged good things that were done in the store just picked on not hitting targets.

    Great experience to see how scummy these companies can be thanks to management policies
    The good thingsThe actual team members who made up the store were really pleasant and awesome to work with.
    The challengesThere is minimal training given, you have to watch some videos and that's it there is no one to explain how the sales system works it's something you'll have to pick up as you go with the aid of co-workers, there is no training officer/team. The main/general manager at my store was terrible

    Stores are a mismanaged due to managers not caring about their employees or customers.
    The good thingsGood discounts on some expensive things like white goods and access to discounts at JB Hi Fi.
    The challengesThey pay award wages to the cent, nothing is in its correct place, managers won’t train staff correctly by giving regular feedback, and managers mark incomplete click-and-collect orders as completed to inflate their KPIs which confuses and frustrates customers and employees.

    Worked as a storeman for more than a year with the only benefit being the discounts and staff offers. The pathetic, bare minimum full-time/part-time salaries they offer compared to the workload/given is quite laughable and really made me appreciate a casual salary. It is a great job for a school leaver or someone starting their life in the workforce or simply looking for experience.
    The good thingsgreat discounts and staff benefits
    The challengespoor management skills, overbuying/ overcrowding of stock, no career progression with minimum opportunities in a warehouse role

    The good thingsStaff discount Making new friends
    The challengesA company very focused on KPI’s and hitting targets, which causes anxiety and creates a toxic work atmosphere as you’re encouraged to step all over the each other to ensure you make your target.

    Profits first, staff second.
    The good thingsSome of the staff you work with can be great, as well as the discounts at the good guys and JB. Great learning opportunities in products from suppliers.
    The challengesManagement from the store right to the head honcho are terrible. Don’t even attempt to hide that they care more about profits then staff safety and well-being. Leave is almost impossible to get approved. Conducts staff surveys and then doesn’t provide clarity or feedback on outcomes from that, and doesn’t change anything despite there being noticeable failings in the company evident from staff turnover rates. Took away bonuses and decreased commission warning capabilities through the height of the pandemic even though they had their best years to date. Unrealistic KPI’s, berated for not reaching them even though there are no customers in store from the rising Covid numbers.

    The good thingsGreat workplace environment. I have been here for 3 years and yes you have some bad days but overall I am treated great and love my workplace. Staff benefits are amazing.
    The challengesThe customers, they are entitled and have the mentality "the customer is always right". You can cop a good bit but that is retail unfortunately.

    You're encouraged to steal sales from other team members because you should only care about you, despite being a "team"
    The good thingsThe people you work with. Company discount at JB HIFI
    The challengesManagement barely see you as more than a number. They make no secret that you're easily replaceable. Caring is just a farce
