      Pros

      The people that work in the shop are usually nice Hard work but not challenging Pay is 4 weekly so that's nice

      Cons

      Not supported by management Not consistent training or expectations Expected to work over contracted hours with no additional pay Not always possible to take contracted breaks due to lack of staffing Blame culture is very high

      Hello, thankyou for your comment and feedback. I'm sorry to hear that you're having issues at your store. I can assure you that no one is expected to work without being paid for it or to work over their contracted hours unless they request to and if you are seeing this I would advise you to raise this with your manager, Area Manager or Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) on 0800 970 1030. Regarding training, I hope that you have attended your Back to Being Co-op session which over 55,000 colleagues across the business have been on and sessions such as this are planned for the future. ^CAtherine

      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
