      - benefits such as discounts and vouchers - there is employee of the month to motivate employees - team/family like environment - can be a varied role - decent training - good morals and values within

      Cons

      - Not a lot of opportunity to grow internally - can have high responsibility compared to other retail jobs - boring at times

      We're really pleased to see that you were happy within your store team and you enjoyed the benefits that Co-op had to offer, such as our 30% colleague member discount. We hope that you had a conversation with your manager about your career aspirations and checked our internal careers website for opportunities to progress before leaving us. We have a wide range of roles across varied business areas, not just retail. Please visit jobs.coop.co.uk to see what's available now.

      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
