Thankyou for your review. I'm sorry to hear that after 10 years at our Co-op you would not recommend it to others based on your experience with your manager. Our Co-op prides itself on offering equal opportunities to all and is the only supermarket to have more female executives on it's board than men. ^Catherine

Thankyou for your review. It's good to hear you enjoyed your role and would recommend to others. We have a very popular recognition called #BeingCoop which regularly rewards colleagues for the work that they do. ^Catherine

Pros

Customers were nice that it

Cons

Kept changing rotas after I gave then availability... Expected to stay late unpaid to finish deliveries that turn up late. Management do not sort any issues expect you to do it yourself. Staff unfriendly and miserable. Awful morale. Money wasn't what I thought it would be as every payday was different when worked same hours. Often left alone on shop floor overnight with no real security. Too many people they call supervisors who get paid about a quid more an hour but think they are way above others. No training expected to know how to use tills etc. Worse job ive had and I transfered so have worked in two different co ops. Both were bad for Same reasons. Can't get annual leave even tho you ask way in advance
