      A company that has a lot of sincerity but is quite bureaucratic - Strategy Co-op Employee Review

      Pros

      A really positive environment that's very supportive. The vast majority of people are willing to listen to others and the general attitude is that everyone wants the company to succeed. There are some moves towards flexible working for non-customer facing colleagues which helps with work-life balance, although that depends on your manager.

      Cons

      A lot of decisions are taken by committee which means it takes a long time for anything to happen, its quite slow moving. The processes can be very bureaucratic as well and time consuming - much more than they need to be. Communications within the Group aren't that great.

      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
