Pros

Have to be store specific here as I know every store is different but from my experience I started as a part time CTM and within 11 month got promoted to team leader. I think there is a lot of progression within the coop, much more than my previous roles in fashion retail.

Cons

Shift patterns are all over the show, can be understaffed at times and expected to work miracles at times! Employing external managers seems like a great idea to the company to bring in new ideas etc... But I think the best idea would be to encourage CTM's and team leaders to strive for promotions instead of outsourcing.

Thanks for your review and feedback. I'm pleased to hear that you are one of the many colleagues who has progressed within their role at the Co-op, but I'm sorry to hear that from your experience you think you're in the minority here. As we're working on the Rebuild we are bringing in new talent but are also investing in the many wonderful colleagues that have been in the business for a long time.

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
