Inferior to Somerfield, my previous employers. - CSA Co-op Employee Review

Pros

Holidays, overtime if wanted and reasonably flexible

Cons

Under staffed, poorly paid in comparison to other supermarkets while the prices are a fair degree higher. Seem to value fair trade and animal rights, but not really considerate of worker's rights and fair treatment. For example, low hour contracts to suit business purposes, which leave some staff members struggling one month to the next.

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
