Pros

Good set of people on the floor and good pay

Cons

Use to love coming to work but most of the good managers have left or are leaving. Other managers get bullied by other managers if they try to support you and some manager act like they are police with one who always shouts that he needs a body cam and hides behind pallets to spy on you or waits outside the toilet timing you waiting for you to come out

Thank you for sharing your experience and for your long service with Co-op. We’re pleased to hear you value your colleagues and the pay, but we’re concerned by the issues you’ve raised about management behaviour. We want all colleagues to feel respected and supported at work. Bullying or harassment is never acceptable, and we encourage anyone who experiences or witnesses this to raise it with their line manager, our People Team, or call our free, confidential helpline on 0800 640 9088 so we can act quickly. It’s good to hear you now have a supportive team manager, but no one should feel targeted or stressed by others. We’re committed to creating a positive and inclusive culture, and feedback like yours helps us understand where we need to improve. If you’d like to share more details, please reach out to your manager or our People Team so we can look into this further. If you're unsure how to raise this, the Ask Bobbi feature in MyHR can help support you.

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
