Thank you for your feedback and review. Working as a Customer Team Leader in our food stores can be challenging, the role does come with a lot of responsibility, but the rewards and benefits Co-op offers are far more competitive than some other retailers. Holiday entitlement being a great example starting at 36 days (pro rata for part time). In terms of pay, for the last three years our frontline colleagues have received above inflation pay rises and we continue to align our pay with the Real Living Wage.

Thank you for leaving a review and we're pleased to see that you are happy with your hours and pay. We're sorry that you feel that there are unreasonable expectations being placed on you. We recommend that you talk to your manager about your workload. if you feel that there are elements of your training that haven't been fully explored, visit the Development Hub and have a discussion with your manager about how we can support you in bridging any gaps in your training.
