Pros

Coop colleagues in front line roles are amazing colleagues and most live and breathe our Ways of Being despite being in difficult roles.

Cons

Sadly Coop leadership in Head Office don't practice what they preach and specifically our own HR Leadership. We expect high standards from our colleagues and that should go both ways. Recently we have witnessed some appealing treatment towards a colleague. To say its affected our confidence and trust is an understatement. Whose next?

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. It’s clear you care deeply about our Ways of Being and the standards we set for ourselves and others. We’re sorry to hear that recent events have impacted your trust in leadership. We agree that expectations should apply consistently across all levels, and that our Colleague Code and commitments must be lived—not just launched. When colleagues feel those standards aren’t upheld, it’s important that concerns are heard and addressed. If you haven’t already, we’d encourage you to speak directly with a senior leader to discuss your concerns. We’re committed to creating an environment where colleagues feel safe to speak up and where leadership is held to the same standards we expect across the business.

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
