Pros

Excellent employment benefits such as holiday, pension and 30% off coop branded items. I work with a lovely team of people who have made me feel very welcome since starting my job in October 2025.

Cons

Our store is short staffed and there is a lot of work to do in the time we are given to do it. I thrive in this kind of pressured environment however I can see that this pressure is affecting some of my colleagues negatively.

Thank you for sharing your experience and for highlighting the benefits you’ve enjoyed, including the welcome from your team and the employment benefits. We hear many positive things about the number of holidays our food store teams benefit from and the 30% colleague member discount too. It’s great to hear you’re enjoying your role. We appreciate your constructive feedback around staffing levels and task prioritisation. Insights like yours help us understand the pressures colleagues face and how they impact teams differently. If you’d like to explore these points further, raising them through your manager or our internal feedback channels is the best way to ensure they’re considered where decisions can be made. Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts.

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
