Culture at Coles

Great supportive and empathetic culture at work I do not participate in activities with colleagues outside of work

Micro - Overall good friendly culture. However, with the agile work environment some teams suffer from too much time spent WFH. As a grad you get the most growth when working in the office. Macro - Corporation and teamwork is generally strong. Being such a large company there are always a few difficult people.

Again, varies greatly depending on the team. Coles is an enormous organisation where the different functions are equivalent in size to entire businesses elsewhere. Some teams have a great culture and others are quite poor.

The culture I have experienced in Coles is mostly quite good, very collaborative.

People are great

The company holds promotional events in the office which gets a lot of people engaged and essentially makes going to work fun. Lots of teams will have Friday night drinks, especially to celebrate someone's birthday, a milestone or as a going away celebration There is structure and hierarchy within the company, as with any other, however it is not strongly felt amongst everyone. No matter the level of position someone is in, they are very open to talking and guiding you in the right direction.

Overall the company has a great culture. In my area it's somewhat more hierarchical in terms of who gets invited to events etc.

Culture is fine and makes for a great work environment. There is great communication and teamwork. I prefer to not participate in outside of work experiences. And I have the ability to deny meetings outside of work

Great culture

Coles is extremely flexible and supportive of work-life balance. The atmosphere and 'vibe' of the workplace is fun, supportive and sociable, allowing people to develop meaningful relationships with one another at work. Some of my closest friends have come from Coles, thanks in large to how great the culture is!

Socialising can be good, depends on the area but hierarchy within commercial can be noticeable and I've had experiences where I've been left out of team meetings and events other grads in the same team have been included in but really depends on the team and manager. I've had managers who have included me in things grads wouldn't normally.

Fast pace at work and willing to help each other. As graduate, there are a lot of support programs and activities.

The company culture of Coles is very lighthearted and jovial with weekly events onsite to participate in. Moreover, once a month we have opportunities to get together with the wider team, after hours for team building or to celebrate someone's success.

structure is great but hierarchy feels quite apparent - often based on role hierarchy or simply people who have been with the company for a lot longer. Cooperation and teamwork are both great and everyone is very friendly and willing to collaborate. Socialising in the office is welcomed and that then encourages socialising outside of work which creates and nurtures relationships.

The culture is fast paced and demanding, although there are always fun events to break up the work aspect and engage with the company in a different manner. Learning and progression is fostered, although sometimes people are unable to step away from work due to time-pressures and deadlines. There are too many meetings and some people work after hours.

Personally I find the company pushes many initiatives to build culture- how effective this is on a boarder scale I am unsure, however within my small team I find a good level of cooperation/team work which builds good culture

I think that there is a really nice culture in the office for the most part, but i also think that sometimes when people get too stressed, they can come across as snappy and quite rude - especially over email.

People focused, there are line managers, General Manager and partners. Close knit team of colleagues

Fast pace at work and willing to help each other. As graduate, there are a lot of support programs and activities.

supportive, inclusive
