To any current Bi-Lo employee's, have your stores been given any indication as to the conversion date to the Coles brand?. Currently i believe that Market Town (4604) is currently undergoing renovations and will probably become Coles soon.

Synthesized, i would strongly recommend you discuss this with your stores Union delegate and your line manager. Ask to speak with both of them together and address any problems/questions you have, but its not advisable to have this meeting in staff room/aisles etc but in managers office to avoid...

I would love to be invisible at my store, being invisible beats being the one who gets blamed about for shit that everyone else does all the freaking time. There is such a double standard towards me by other staff members who bitch behind my back yet i dont do it when they do things wrong as its...

Whoa, dare i say RIP Bi-Lo. I wonder how long the re-branding will take ( thats if i understand what the asx release said ). This sucks given it states that some stores will close, this is f'ing stupid. People shop at Bi-Lo since it is cheaper then Coles/Woolworths. Dumb move ColesMyer, soon to...

Curious but is a persons 'scan rate' that important at woolworths?. I work for Bi-Lo and i scan at about 12-14 items, our lowest scanner has 8 items and the highest is at 17-20. I have watched people who scan at 15+ and they tend to be very bad packers, they just throw things into bags ( coles...

You arent obligated to do additional shifts, they are simply a bonus which can be very helpfull for some $$$. However you would be surprised how hard it is to get people to answer the phone when you call them to do an extra shift. I have been in that position before and not a single person was...

It would be better to simply call CML recruitment for your state and have them look at the problem. It may help to say how much you wanted to get an interview for a casual/part-time job, they may be able to assist in finding one for you. But its not a guarantee

Thats pretty much a move most people make, so its nothing she wouldnt have seen before. However if you where sincere enough it may have helped a bit. They prefer to see potential employee's who have an outgoing personality, when you go for the store interview try and ask some questions that will...

Any current Bi-Lo employee's concerned about the possibility of being rebranded as Coles? Given the fact that several stores in the central coast / hunter valley regions are close to established Coles stores. Hopefully by august the company will announce the fate of Bi-Lo. Even though it would...

That is incorrect, CML do check references in 99% of applications before anyone reaches one on one interviews with store managers. I am aware of this personally as i recently applied for another position inside CML and on every application the references where contacted.

Lol, saw something today that goes to show the bad moves CML makes. Some stores may have or get "Pay for use trollleys", $1 or $2 to use one but you get it back at the end. This has been tried before at some Kmart stores and back then you only needed 20c. I personally witnessed customers just...

The process is rather annoying as most people ive known who have applied with CML run into problems. For current CML employee's here is something you never want to be involved with"Return To Work Program", i never listened to the stories people told about how they were treated like crap during...

Lol i hate when customers remove your closed sign when im about to finish, they are just idiots. Pity we have to be nice about it, i have on occasion told them that i saw them remove the sign. The customer then bitched about everything, i only wish that my stores supervisors would actually help...

Indeed, i get treated like that all the damn time, the supervisors have their own little "group" and if your not in it your screwed. But it helps to make a good impression on the manager of the store

CML are still doing the recruitment for Myer, for how long this will continue is unknown. Considering that ColesMyer Limited will be re-branded soon - New name/logo etc. As for the Nightfill question, it is best to try the job for a few weeks or even months just to see how you like it or untill...

Does your store manager have the rosters setup for the entire month/ 2week period or just the single week?. I know that we have to give 4weeks notice of any unavailibilites as the rosters are done for the month, but it rarely stays that way. I know i get sick of getting shift cuts and only...

There was a leak in the vault from the light fixture?? or something like that

The colesmyer process is rather annoying, i had to apply online recently for a new coles store that is going to open, yet i work for bilo. They then called and told me i had to add in two work referees, i doubt i will get an interview for a casual position. For anyone who wants to work at...

When it comes to Stocktake the state office may elect to send in people to observe what is going on, so the No-Talking, No Mobile Phones, Etc are in place for this. Dont know if it ever happens but its hard to know. I can agree with several negative viewpoints of CML in this thread, i had hell...

For IPT i manged Examination 81 Assessment 90 HSC 86 My exam mark went down as i had ancient history in the morning and having a bad back and hands affected me, but due to the fact these problems where insignificant at the begining of year wasnt much need for special provisions. Besides i...
