      Pros

      Good pay Good holidays Nice discount scheme for employees Ethical company at the top Great co-workers Some management are amazing to work with

      Cons

      It can be cliquey with management at their favourites Bullies above supervisor grade are allowed to do as they want The customer is always right, even if that includes abusive/violent behaviour If you're not in a clique, forget career progression Loyalty is not rewarded and will be used against you Great managers often leave to be paid what they deserve

      Thankyou for your review. I'm concerned to read your review and comments regarding bullying. Our Co-op doesn't tolerate any form of bullying or harassment towards our colleagues and will take any allegations very seriously. So I ask that you raise this immediately with the Bullying and Harassment helpline, you can find their details on the Co-op Colleague website. Regarding your claims of abusive customers, again we do not tolerate this and if you have concerns please raise them immediately with your manager or again our Bully and Harassment team who will be able to support you. ^Catherine

      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
