Overall not good - Customer Service Assistant Co-op Employee Review

Arrogant and disrespectful managers who try to fiddle on the system and shave off hours you have worked. I am amazed and disgusted at how widespread this behaviour actually is among store managers. Not only have several managers at my store done this, i have heard from other employees in other stores that it happens to them too. The company is also trying to turn the working environments in the shops into what you see with sweatshops in China. Its still some way off from that, but its slowly heading there. For a minimum wage they cut down on staff and ask you to do more and more work. You end up being paid peanuts to do several peoples jobs. And to put the cherry on the cake you are criticised and threatened if you dont execute it all perfectly. Its becoming virtually impossible to do so much in a shift but i have been told that 'thats just the way it is whether you like it or not. You can leave if its too much for you as we will find another slave to do it' is the kind of attitude i get when i try to complain about it. Dont be fooled by the co-ops image of being an ethical company. They might have been a long time ago, but definitely not in recent times.
