Pros

You can work with great teams and get great customers. The people on the ground appreciate the hard work the you put in nd the results that you get from that hard work.

Cons

You have to be willing to give a majority of you time to work, and then some. Targets are unreachable with the hours/equipment you are provided with. And when you don't meet the standards set by the people in the cushy office you are reprimanded and told to do better. Which isn't possible when working from 6am till 11pm and don't have anymore hours to get people into work.

Hell, thankyou for your comment. I'm sorry to hear that you feel like there isn't enough support given to you, I hope you raise your concerns with your manager. We are all here to work together for the future success of the Co-op and that includes your colleagues who work hard at the support centre. ^Catherine

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
