Pros

Can be great when you are working with good people

Cons

After the bad job of managing the cyber attack (aka not doing a manual process and waiting for it to blow over costing millions) they keep adding more and more tasks in a already over worked 1 on 1 store, coffee machine maintenance, online delivery etc without any extra staff

Thank you for sharing your feedback and for your continued commitment over several years. We’re pleased to hear that working with good colleagues has been a positive part of your experience. We recognise that the recent cyber incident was disruptive for colleagues, and taking swift action to safeguard Co‑op was essential. We understand this added pressure in stores, particularly smaller teams, and feedback around workload and support is important to us. Thank you also for your comments on our picking systems and in‑store tools, this feedback helps inform ongoing improvements.
