Pros & Cons

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.

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The systems are a little outdated.
Career progression paths are not as clear for junior team members.
It sounds very difficult to climb the ladder, and many grads leave because they feel it is not possible here.
Can be very fast paced and complicated to navigate such a large organisation.
