      Pros

      Good customers and good collegues, employee discount is handy, shame we only get double discount on the Saturday after pay day? Why Saturday? It would be a shame for employees to miss out on double discount as its only available on a Saturday. I wouldn't enjoy my time so much at the co-op if it wasn't so mind numbingly easy whilst studying, the customers are good banter and the colleagues are great fun too.

      Cons

      Minimum wage, limited training opportunities, every 6 months there is a different management strategy that we have to memorise in case management comes into grill us on it. Break entitlement seems to change too often (in my store), I am unable to work one weekend on and one weekend off.

      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
