Pros

The teams that you work with are truly great. They all push themselves to the extra mile to help each other out. Most of the time unpaid!

Cons

Work life completely takes over your personal life. I've worked for the Co-op for 5 years within that 5 years the expectation seems to be swaying towards, if you want to work for us, be available 24/7 and expect to work 50/60 hours a week if you want to keep your job. There was a time I loved working for this company, now however, I feel as though your best is not good enough, and they will find the slightest excuse to get rid of you as 'there is always someone down the road who will do your job'

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
