      A company I was proud to work for, but not anymore - Store Manager Co-op Employee Review

      Pros

      Good pay, growing company, good hours

      Cons

      Some externals coming in as area managers and at higher level and messing up the business. It's not the co-op I started working in about 10 years ago. It's like Tesco and Sainsbury's. It's all politics there now. Will be leaving soon.

      Business outlook

      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
