thanks always.dreaming

do u guys know whats the staff discount for coles? hehe =p is it something gerneous lyk 10-20%? or lyk somthing very tight lyk a 5 %?

 

[milocole]

SD is only 5%. Can be used across the whole Coles Group.

Comes in handy when you are buying a Plasma, Computer or something expensive from Kmart or Target or so...

Re: coleSSS!!!!

Welcome to Coles Group.
It happens at other Coles Group companies.

Not just that, but like.... retail in general, managers are always very busy.

Re: coleSSS!!!!

I've had that problem too, I called up the recruitment centre 5 days after confirmation and asked them what was going on. The next day I recieved a phone call from the manager.

Re: coleSSS!!!!

it sucks! i left a msg....left my contact number..and NOTHING....and btw the person in charge of my induction isnt the store manager! argh!!! annoying...i think shes a supervisor...well i was calling basically every 30 mins asking for her and FINALLY she was avaliable!!! ARGH. damn and plus i didnt know coels broadway was that BUSY!? I never even knew the supervisors would be THAT busy!

Re: coleSSS!!!!

no, they usually are understaffed. Reason why I eventually left for a better job

If coles want to outdo woolworths, then they should have a business model rethink, rather than a hack and slash attitude to staffing

Re: coleSSS!!!!

If it's your local Coles, just rock up and speak to them face to face.

hey guys is it true that if your a casual at coles you dont get as much shifts? maybe like 1 or 2 a week? and do casuals at coles get paid more on sundays? im not sure cos i thought that applied to part times only...so how much does a 17 yr old casual get paid at coles?

 

[nanaxdd]

btw do i get paid for the 40 mins of online induction and the instore induction as well as instore training?

 

[milocole]

-you paid paid for ALL your Training
-As for getting shifts, depends on store. Im only Casual and get 4hours a week
-Yes Casuals get more on Sundays, about +70%
-17yr old, well, about $12 normally and about $17/18 on sundays....

 

[nanaxdd]

what the hell...only 4 hrs per weeek!?!?!?!

 

[housah0lic]

last week and the week before i had one 3 hour shift the whole week

fucking gay cunts

we are overstaffed

 

[nanaxdd]

that is ridiculous! i am already thinking of quiting now....!!!!! i havent even had my training yet..its this friday and i am so put off!!!

 

[milocole]

yes, we are also understaffed. They hired 130, they only need 70....

New Store opening up soon around the corner, and Ive sent my transfer form in pretty fast, lol

Plus working in Dairy dosn't give you many hours though...last week (and the week before) I have had "0" hours, so I beg that I dont get a call from them on Friday morning that my Friday shift is cancelled, as per usual. Mainly because they cant "afford" to roster me on, too many markdowns........hahahaha

Lucky I have a second job that gives me hours in the double figures range, but I wouldn't call Coles a Job for me, rather a fortnightly chore..

 

[nanaxdd]

why do they do that? its just ridiculous!
i hope in my store i get at least 3 days of work...gosh!
