      Pros

      All in all it's a good company to work for, the store on hartington road in dronfield was really nice, which is where I spent most of my employment with co-op. The team there was lovely and we all got on well.

      Cons

      The co-op will make sure that their public image is their top priority rather than the welfare of an employee, and God forbid someone chooses to make allegations and use those to smear dirt on the co-op. You'll be out the door without so much as a goodbye before you even wake up the next morning. Also, if you do decide to leave the co-op on good circumstances but due to unfortunate events, don't plan on returning as they will flat out ignore your applications no matter what area you try to apply in. Not even an interview nor past consideration, you'll be denied within the first few days of the application being submitted. All for their public image even if you have done nothing wrong and had to leave due to extenuating circumstances.

      Thank you for sharing your experience and for highlighting the positives about your time with the team in Dronfield. We’re sorry to hear you feel disappointed about the process of returning. Many former colleagues do successfully rejoin us, and we value the experience they bring. There are situations where re-employment isn’t possible, but these decisions are based on individual circumstances rather than a blanket approach. If you’d like clarity on your own situation, the best route is to contact our recruitment or HR team directly. Thank you again for taking the time to share your perspective.

      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
