Positive experience

Average interview

Application

I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Co-op (London, England) in Sept 2022

Interview

Pretty standard, not too difficult with retail experience. Manager was decent and was friendly during the interview process. I was taken into the office and shown around the store with the manager and another colleague.

Easy interview

Application

I applied online. I interviewed at Co-op (Wootton, East of England, England)

Interview

Bad. Felt unprofessional and did not enjoy the minutes there. Was not given follow-up after the interview and had to go constantly try and get a reply. This resulted in nothing and empty promises.

Positive experience

Easy interview

Application

I interviewed at Co-op

Interview

Short and chilled experience, wasn't able to offer any idea about a steady schedule and said it was going to be all over the place and being a university student this wasn't very reassuring.

Answer question

Co-op response
