Pros

I can’t think of any

Cons

Way too much work load, very stressful, everything falls on you if anything goes wrong. Make you advertise but call it community engagement to make it sound better. You are constantly forced to sell things not be there for grieving families and the majority of the team talk to you terribly. Never been so down and stressed out over a job until I came here. I have been here short of 6 months and already know many colleagues that have been bullied out of the work place or have went on leave due to stress!!!

We're extremely concerned about your wellbeing and would recommend that you speak to your manager about how you are feeling. This is not the typical experience of our colleagues and nobody should be made to feel the way you are describing. Co-op has a zero tolerance approach to any form of bullying, whether you've experienced this yourself or witnessed it, you must speak up. Informally you can talk to your colleagues or your manager. If you can’t talk to your manager, you can raise it via HR Services HRS number is 0330 601 1001 option 3. Alternatively you can call our free, confidential BHD helpline on 0800 640 9088.

Pros

Team got on well, hours weren't particularly harsh (pay not particularly impressive either)

Cons

Overworked due to corporate ruthlessly cutting hours (while hiring more staff?), generally piling on more and more work to the store team without considering time constraints, absolutely no opportunity for advancement while a store manager is already there
