Pros

Good to work within a small team, I've always had a supportive manager. Co-op offer different benefits such as cycle to work schemes, coupons off eye tests, online GP appointments. There is always a good support network within management as well. Co-op offer additional learning such as apprenticeships if you want to progress further within the company as well.

Cons

Cuts to hours in stores meaning working 1-1.
