Pros

Developed a great sense of community with the shop team, loved the community fundraising etc. which The Co-Operative does a lot of the time.

Cons

Long periods of time spent on one's feet and the occasional rude customer were cons to this position, but overall my experience was vastly positive

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
