Pros

Good for students, quick money for a simple job

Cons

Everyone is extremely rude and dismissive if you are younger. Very little progression and normally management do not care about you.

Thank you for your review. We're sorry to hear of your experience, this is not the standard we expect of our colleagues and we hope that you have spoken to your manager about your concerns. If you feel that you can't raise this with your manager, we advise speaking to another manager in the business or reaching out to our HR teams - you can find contacts using MyHR and using the Ask Bobbi feature.

Pros

Offer good salary & benefits

Cons

Terrible management, current interview process is horrendous for ND candidates, Having a very unclear format - having to pre record video questions (which is a one shot opportunity) and then after offering support, receiving NONE. So disappointed as really wanted to return to Coop but they've made it impossible. Talk the talk but DO NOT WALK THE WALK!

Thank you for your review and feedback. We're not sure when you last applied for a role with us, but we do not currently use video interviews for our roles as we phased these out in July. We regularly review our application processes and for a time we used video interviews for some of our head office based roles. The video interview technique enabled candidates to see the questions before preparing an answer and a re-record should they need to. Our current process involves some assessments designed to measure your suitability for the role and alignment to Co-op behaviours. We also send out all of our interview questions ahead of the interview, with the exception of some technical based questions specific to the role.
