Thank you for your review. We're pleased that you are happy with our development offer and the support you're getting in your role. Each role at Co-op has been allocated a Work Level based on its job size. Every Work Level is linked to a pay range with a minimum value, a maximum value, and relevant industry benchmarks. The benchmark value is based upon the external market and is used as a reference point. There are a number of factors that influence colleague pay, including internal equity, experience, and your individual performance. We recommend that you visit the Pay and Reward Hub to see how your role and work level is defined and use the benchmark tool to see where your pay sits against the benchmark and work level pay ranges.
