      Pros

      Team members are so lovely and welcoming and were so good at training me and making me feel valued.

      Cons

      How some staff members who have been there for a while take advantage of new staff i.e.; i was left with all the unwanted duties for example a staff member was only meant to stay on till for 3 hours but nobody liked till so I was on till for 8 hours straight while they all laughed and chatted in the back.

      Great job, poor setback.

      Pros

      Working at the co-operative was a great experience overall. Everyone was friendly, I worked in a small supermarket so working hard didn't mean over-exertion and most of the customers seemed genuinely grateful to have 'you personally' as their staff. The pay was fair and there wasn't too much stress.

      Cons

      Working shifts was made a problem by how hard it was to change availability. "Flexible hours" as dubbed by the co-operative, aren't flexible at all. I had trouble with working 35-38 hours a week for some months because of poor staff and my inability to convince them I could cope with the strain of never seeing the light of day.

      Pros

      Good management, good rate of pay, and in general a highly enjoyable working environment. I was only there on my gap year but would definitely work there again.

      Cons

      Difficult working on a part time or zero hour contract as it's difficult to organise other things in life around the unpredictable hours.
