Pros

The holiday entitlement is decent.

Cons

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.

Good discounts, nice customers. holidays

Cons

Horrific Managers, Badly Trained, never listen, only interested in their own agenda, hate working on tills, sit in Office spying on CCTV, hate giving till workers a break, bullying and victimisation rife in company, two faced, always bickering, treat staff like something they stood on in street.
