Boost Juice ? (1 Viewer)

[belly_moo]

anybody know about how much a 16 y.o. gets paid at Boost Juice?

there's a new store opening in marrickville metro [enmore] but i dunno if i should apply... i used to work at Subway and that was pretty shit pay... wouldn't want that to happen again

but i've also applied at IKEA. a new store opening in homebush bay but they haven't contacted me yet, but their wages and conditions are better.

thanks in advance

i dont think the pay is particularly high.. probably similar to most food places.. but theres alot more non monetary benefits that are offered which keep people there eg music playing.. all workers being young.. location etc
if your only looking for pay rate in a job good luck in the real world.. theres so many people getting jobs they hate just because it pays well then they end up leaving within a few months and it doesnt look good on a resume if you have had a multitude of jobs for only a few months each.. its good to find something that matches your interests so you enjoy what you do
like ive been at woolworths for 3 years and i have great friends.. flexible hours and its a 2 min drive from my house.. the pay is more than some places but less than others and it doesnt really phase me.. and i dont really intend on leaving there anytime soon
basically dont go for a job because of the pay.. getting a job at ikea with a higher rate but working with all old people and dealing with all older customers wouldnt be as good as working with young people in an energetic environment in my opinion.. thats just something to think about

How much did you get paid at Subway, it can't be that bad, can it?

 

[belly_moo]

oh it was REALLY bad. degrading i reckon.
$6 when i was 15. and $6.50 when i turned 16. the environment was okay i guess, except that when i'd be having 9 hour shifts with one lunch break i'd be on my feet for the rest of the shift. tiring. and if i wore flat leather shoes i don't think the customers would see me [am v.short].

subway was fun but in some ways i don't think it was that worth it

boooooooooooooooooooooo-ooooooooost!

lol - I hear that most of the time on 2Day FM

 

[belly_moo]

haha and the dodgy burp
mann.. i can out-belch anyone i tells ya

boost would be fun to work at. clean as well, since there's no cooking, everything is fresh

go to other job websites like seek and careerone and type in "christmas" as the keyword to find other jobs

boost is very hectic
i see the neverending queues of people at my lunchbreak

off-topic: my mate just got his contract as marketing manager - first job out of uni

biased, i would go for ikea but probably less chance of a 16y.o working there than a take-away store.

$6 when i was 15. and $6.50 when i turned 16.

where i work our 15 year olds only get $5.71 an hour.... but the award is getting re-done, i think they go up about 15 cents

 

[cro_angel]

yeh i think when i was under 16 it was like $6.30 then it went up to like 8.40 when i turned 16.. then 10.82 when i turned 17.. big jumps

 

[belly_moo]

woah you got big payrise jumps. when my manager found out i turned 16 he gave me a flimsy 50c payrise

its not the manager
its what the employment award specifies
your employer works under the subway umbrella and can only pay you what hes allowed to pay
that money that you got at subway is excellent compared to some other places. i started at pizza hut at that age and started on 5.50 an hour, even lower when i was only training. dont complain, ur not going to find anything better, youre only fifteen for gods sake!

 

[Emily.]

oh and the employment award is specified by the state government. nothing they can do about that. check the awards out at www.industrialrelations.nsw.gov.au

 

[belly_moo]

=O !!! $5.50 an hour?? dude your earning less than a buck for every ten minutes your working there !!

you still working at pizza hut now ?

 

[_Bushra_]

well when i turned 17 my pay went up nearly a dollar and i now get paid 9.86 and when i was 16 it was 8.97 i guess thats pretty decent...

i cant believe subway pays so shit

i USED to work at boost, in the summer holidays. the pay is pretty bad for a 16 yo. i got under $10/hr when i was 18...and its not as fun as it looks.

ITS HARDWORK STINKING LABOUR! AND I WAS ONLY THERE FOR A MONTH at hurstville...

after working at boost juice, i vowed to never work in hospitality again now im at myer city - retail all the way :uhhuh:

 

[belly_moo]

serious? =|
i've already given in my resume though. ahh well. too late i guess.
but i'm getting desperate for a job and 16 year olds like myself can't get jobs at places like Myer. not 'high class' enough for that kinda retail biz.
and it's hard to get into retail when you're a 16y.o. with no retailing experience eeeek..

[this is slightly off topic but ..] you work in Myer in the city? bahaha my friend went there to buy socks today. she needed em for work this arvo at the cinemas on george st. do you get massive discounts at Myer?

It's not so bad. One of my friends (20 yrs old)did work experience in a law firm in HK last summer holidays.
He got paid HK$20 an hour, which is equivalent to a $3.49 in Australian dollars. He also got worked to death typing up letters and other odds and ends (probably like a maid) I know it's only work experience but still...hehe...slave labour.
