Pros

- Plenty of opportunity to gain new skills - No 2 days are ever the same - Friendly colleagues who genuinely care about ‘Being Co-op’ - Good bonus - Great pension scheme (matched and doubled by employer)

Cons

- Training and progression can be a bit hit and miss across the different business functions (not the case in my area) - Inconsistent salaries for the same role in different business areas. Unachievable ‘up-to’ upper brackets when roles are advertised. - Several consecutive restructures have left colleagues wearing ‘multiple hats’ and doing the jobs of 3 or more people.

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
