Both my lads have just resigned from Woolies after 5 & 7 years stints respectively, its been a great job for them to learn customer service, interact with people, leadership skills and generally how the world lives outside their own little bubble.

Both have been down at Morphettvale store and while it is only 10 mins from our house they have seen plenty which has opened their eyes, but also the most down to earth people who scrape by each week but that doesn't impact their enjoyment of life. They have also made a new circle of friends which will continue on post them leaving.

It has set them up well for their next employer and stage in life, highly recommend it to anyone with kids looking for jobs.

Yeah, seconded, 2 of my lads were at Marion Woolies, one for 3 years and one for 5.

The ALH meal discount isn't too bad, either!

Both of mine served time at Hungry Jacks, one for 4 years and one for 3, it gave them some very sound basics when it comes to the workplace. Punctuality is paramount there, they take no excuses, working in a team in a timely manner and following SOPs and instructions from team leaders.

Every shift they came home exhausted, stinking like a deep fryer but better for the experience, Miss Boon (25) still has her Manager from when she was 16 as her professional reference on her resume. That Manager was once a Team Member, then Manager, then Area Manager and now owns two Hungry Jacks stores in her own right at 35.
