Thanks for your review and feedback. It’s great to hear that you’ve found a friendly team environment, supportive colleagues and flexibility that works well alongside other commitments. We’re pleased the colleague discount and our community focus have also made a positive difference. We understand that busy periods can feel demanding, and while we can’t speak to the specifics of your store’s staffing or shift patterns, we know how important it is that colleagues feel supported during peak times. If you're looking to explore development or progression the internal careers site or the Development Hub on the Co-op SharePoint site are good places to start. Thanks again for your continued contribution.

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
