Pros and cons of working at Coles
Pros
Coles is extremely flexible and caters well to the cohort in the office.
There are many development and growth opportunities available to graduates to continuously improve and enhance their career.
Line managers and leaders are always willing to give you time to upskill and grow.
The flexibility of the role is a definite highlight, allowing me to not only thrive in my role but also put myself first.
The culture here is great and people are willing to help me when I ask.
Cons
Being such a large organisation can be daunting and learning how it operates to be able to complete your role can be frustrating at times.
The systems are a little outdated.
It's such a large business it can feel not very personable.
Of course, this is heavily influenced by the individuals that make up a respective intake of graduates, but there is great opportunity and breadth of graduates from different departments to be exposed to and build meaningful connections with.
Can be very fast paced and complicated to navigate such a large organisation.
