Pros

- Very accommodating of me going to uni, was able to work whenever I was home in the holidays - Flexible with time off - Friendly atmosphere - Always looking to help the community

Cons

- While staff are usually rotated on tills, sometimes it won't work out and you'll be standing behind the till for 8 hours - As it is retail, can get repetitive

Thankyou for your review. It's great to hear that you find work at our Co-op is a good fit around your studies at university and that you enjoy the ways in which we work with the community. If you're looking for new challenges so work feel less repetitive I recommend speaking to your manager about opportunities for you. ^Catherine

Thankyou for your review. I'm sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your role at our Co-op and would not recommend it to others. Regarding the overtime, this is there for those colleagues who want to do it, if you speak to the manager to advise them you don't want to work overtime it would not be offered to you. I wish you well with your future career. ^Catherine
