Thank you for sharing your feedback and for your 10 years of service with Co‑op. We’re pleased to hear that flexibility and work–life balance stood out during your time with us. We also recognise your concerns around frequent change, governance, and inconsistencies across teams. We’re sorry to hear that restructuring left you feeling unsupported. That’s not the experience we aim to provide, and it highlights how important it is that change is managed with clarity, care, and respect. We encourage open conversations with line managers and People teams during periods of change to ensure support is understood. Thank you again for taking the time to submit your review.

Pros

Team got on well, hours weren't particularly harsh (pay not particularly impressive either)

Cons

Overworked due to corporate ruthlessly cutting hours (while hiring more staff?), generally piling on more and more work to the store team without considering time constraints, absolutely no opportunity for advancement while a store manager is already there
