Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to learn of your experience with us and want to assure you that Co-op takes violent crime against retail workers seriously. We successfully campaigned to change the law in this area, making it a stand-alone offence. We continue to invest in resources for our store colleagues including innovative technology and security. Where incidents do occur, we encourage our teams to report this to the police and on My Safety. Doing this allows us to allocate the resources and support where it is needed most.

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
