Thank you for taking the time to share your review and for recognising the role as a good place to get started, particularly for students and graduates. We also appreciate you sharing your experience as a Customer Team Leader over the past few years. We’re genuinely concerned to read your comments around colleague safety. The safety and wellbeing of our colleagues is extremely important to us, and where anyone feels that this is not being prioritised, that is something we take seriously. We would strongly encourage you to raise these concerns through our internal channels, either with your line manager, People team, or through our safety and colleague feedback processes. These routes allow us to better understand the specific issues and take appropriate action. Thank you for your honesty and for recommending Co‑op. Open feedback, both publicly and directly, is vital in helping us improve.

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
