Pros

you get 10% discount on branded products and 30% on any co-op products

Cons

on a daily basis you get really rude customers, you get people screaming for no reason. Most of the time have to work Friday-sunday and bank hollidays with no extra pay. shifts can be all over the place one day your there at 5:45 the next closing. managers not understanding that this is a part-time job for you so you also have other commitments.

Thank you for your review and feedback. We're pleased to see that you're happy with your colleague member discounts. Many of our colleagues in our food stores are on part time contracts and we endeavour to have work patterns that fit around individual requirements as much as we possibly can. Our roles are advertised with a range of shifts that reflect the opening hours of our stores, which in convenience retail will include bank holidays and weekends. Rotas are shared at least 3 weeks in advance and we recommend that if you're having any difficulties with your shifts, particularly if your availability has changed in anyway, to discuss this with your manager.

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
