Pros

Good customers and good collegues, employee discount is handy, shame we only get double discount on the Saturday after pay day? Why Saturday? It would be a shame for employees to miss out on double discount as its only available on a Saturday. I wouldn't enjoy my time so much at the co-op if it wasn't so mind numbingly easy whilst studying, the customers are good banter and the colleagues are great fun too.

Cons

Minimum wage, limited training opportunities, every 6 months there is a different management strategy that we have to memorise in case management comes into grill us on it. Break entitlement seems to change too often (in my store), I am unable to work one weekend on and one weekend off.
