Officeworks Employee Reviews about "head office"

Pros

- Amazing managers - Great coworkers

Cons

Higher up management (i.e. head office) ties hands for managers in stores and they get a bad rap. I have made lifelong friends here but they also have left due to how toxic it can get.

Pros

People, Culture, Friendly environment, leave benefits.

Cons

Unstable higher management. Head Office disconnect from stores.

Pros

Team member discounts, dynamic working environment

Cons

Outdated and faulty equipment at print and copy, understaffing, lack of communication from head office.

Pros

On the store leadership team, so you get to sit in meetings and get a better of an idea how the back of house works so you're learning the "how we do it" and the "why we do it". Monday to Friday work, and it's mostly day shifts.

Cons

Wouldn't recommend a business specialist role. No support from the team in head office. You're pretty much left to fend for yourself. Managers expect you to work 9 hours a day rather than the 8 you're getting paid for.

Pros

Staff discounts are good, not much training is required, great for uni students and getting into a workforce.

Cons

zero chance of a career, you require almost 10 years minimum to have any luck at a full-time position. zero communication from head office and managers. hours can be all over the place and at times devoid you of a social life.

Pros

The pay was acceptable, coworkers were friendly, everything was pretty relaxed. Very good 20% employee discount, along with 5% at any Coles Group stores.

Cons

Senior management (from head office) don't seem to be the best. Unclear vision, can be very bureaucratic. Policy and procedures were occasionally not followed.

Pros

Can't think of anything to say

Cons

Hard Work Low Pay No Bonus No Appreciation from Management in Head Office Bad Decision Making in Head Office Out of Touch

Pros

Fantastic, motivated, want-to-achieve culture, driven by the desire to innovate, and be first to market, this is a company where it is all happening, and where some very smart people are leading the business to achieve a unique identity in a very crowded retail space.

Cons

Head office ain't in the city. Although that may Appeal to some.

Pros

The pay is good, and working conditions and colleagues fantastic

Cons

The customers at p&c are some of the rudest you will EVER find in retail or hospo, and head office treat you like an imbecile if a complaint reaches them. There's no employee trust or support higher up than your local managers.
