Pros

Working with lovely families in times of their grief/loss.

Cons

Appalling management system - all about selling their products rather than assisting grieving families. Meant to be an advocate for 'mental health wellbeing' - appalling behaviour from management doing the complete opposite. No gratitude whatsoever for long standing employees

Thank you for sharing your experience, and for your long-standing commitment to supporting families through difficult times. We’re proud of the care our colleagues provide, and we’re sorry to hear that your experience of management hasn’t reflected the values we stand for. We know how important it is that colleagues feel respected and supported, especially in emotionally demanding roles. If you haven’t already, we’d encourage you to raise concerns directly with your manager. If that doesn’t feel possible, you can contact our Bullying, Harassment and Discrimination (BHD) helpline in confidence by emailing bhd@coop.co.uk. This route is available to all current colleagues and ensures concerns are reviewed independently. We’re continuing to invest in leadership development and wellbeing support, and feedback like yours helps us understand where we need to do better.

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
