It's not a 39 hour work week! - Store Manager Co-op Employee Review

There is a culture in stores whereby you're expected to work beyond your 39 hour work week for free (as management colleagues are salaried no overtime is payed). I've worked under a number of area managers and in a number of stores and simply put the workload cannot be achieved in a 39 hour work week with the hours given to you for staff. Working for Coop is only for those who live to work, and not those expecting any semblance of work-life balance.
