      Doesn’t live up to its ethics - Former Store Manager Co-op Employee Review

      Pros

      Many store teams have a good sense of collaboration and work hard to keep the stores’ going under increasing amounts of pressure. Good brand and many shops are now much more modern than before

      Cons

      Some members of senior management don’t practice the co-op core values and principles and are top out of touch with the co-op of today. Increasing cutbacks in store make running a store effectively increasingly difficult resulting in low morale and poor customer service. There are some, to put it mildly, evil, egotistical managers with their own agendas who don’t give two hoots about their staff

      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
