| Shop Assistant |
Coles is one of the top companies in the retail industry in Australia.It
employs over 40,000 people and has over 450 stores nationally.Coles has
a standard that is at the top of its game in regards to dress which is a
set standard.It also works an average of 152 hours in the month for
employers and goes up to about 240 for people in management
positions.Coles role is to be the top providor of all food products in
the nation and to do so in the most professional and cost efficient way
possible.Its set up is the equal of any in the world and is totally
automated in how it does business.It even allows people to shop on-line
which is exstroadinary for food products but also in a country as big as
ours and with the population as spread around as it is a necessary task
to undertake.It also is a company that is continually expanding and also
upgrading its stores which runs into the millions of dollars each
year.Because it is a very competitive market the companies attitude is
to be at the forefront of development and not playing catch up.It quite
rightly markets itself as a market leader and as the share prices
indicate it is a sound investment for investors.The turnover rate of
staff is very high by some standards but is not unexpected as many of
our staff are casuals working through college or university and leave
upon graduation.The company also tries to employ younger people as often
as possible as they are cheaper to pay although each department is also
manned by senior staff who normally run the departments.Through the
companies assessment process they identify people they consider to have
a future in the business and they are generally advanced through the
ranks and into management positions.The overall statistic for this is
about 1% of the employees who would rise to management positions.
