Co-op reviews

Classic with all part time positions. Shift pop up irregularly

My otherwise postive experience was negatively impacted by the behaviour of the existing management team. Despite my efforts, I was not made to feel included within the wider leadership team for reasons that were never explained. This included being excluded from team communication channels, conversations stopping upon my arrival, and unprofessional comments being made about my work without being addressed directly. I was regularly allocated undesirable shifts and was often required to work one on one during particularly busy periods, such as weekends or during nearby busy events. I was also blamed for issues outside of my responsibility and, on occasion, spoken to in a belittling manner over headsets in front of colleagues. Additionally, I was asked to complete mandatory online training in my own time with the assurance that it would be paid. When I later queried this, payment was repeatedly deferred and I was made to feel uncomfortable for asking, despite the original agreement. These ongoing issues appeared to be part of a wider culture within the long-standing management team and may help explain the high turnover of new staff.
