Pros

comes with location pay, good team, understaffed and do leave you with a lot of work

Thanks for your review. We're glad you felt supported by your team and recognised the benefit of the London Allowance in your pay. We’re sorry to hear you experienced racist behaviour from customers, that’s unacceptable, and we expect respectful conduct from everyone who interacts with our colleagues. If you didn’t feel able to raise this during your time with us, you can still share unresolved concerns using the former colleague contact form which can be found at colleagues.coop.co.uk/contacts.
