About Woolworths
What Woolworths does, its mission and values, and what it's like to work there in Australia.
Woolworths Group is one of Australia's two largest supermarket retailers. Tracing back to 1924 and headquartered at Bella Vista in north-west Sydney, its core is about 995 Woolworths supermarkets and roughly 90 Metro convenience stores, supported by Woolworths Online home delivery and the Everyday Rewards loyalty program. The group also owns the Big W discount department store chain (around 179 stores) and a majority stake in the Petstock pet-care network, and runs its own supply-chain arm, Primary Connect, and digital arm, WooliesX.
Woolworths trades in every state and territory, is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX: WOW), and employs about 200,000 people — one of the country's largest private employers.
Most jobs are in stores. Frontline roles include customer service and checkout, online personal shoppers, trolley collection, night fill, and the fresh departments such as bakery, deli, meat, and produce. Woolworths runs retail traineeships and school-based programs, and store leadership covers team supervisors, department managers, and store managers.
Beyond stores, Primary Connect operates distribution centres and customer fulfilment centres with warehouse and transport roles, while the Bella Vista support office houses merchandise and buying, technology (WooliesX), supply chain, finance, property, and people teams. Store roles are largely casual and part-time under the General Retail Industry Award and the group's enterprise agreement, with full-time roles common in management, supply chain, and head office.
