Thank you for leaving a review, however, the title of your review is concerning. Our colleagues are not under any obligation to leave a review on Glassdoor. We invite colleagues to consider leaving a review at various stages of their time with us, for example after completing 3 months in role. If you believe that you have been mandated to do this, please raise your concerns with HR and we can look into this. Our pay is based on a number of factors including external benchmarks, and is reviewed annually. To find out more you can visit the Pay and Reward Hub on how your salary is calculated. We also encourage you to discuss your career aspirations with your manager at your next 121 meeting. A career conversation will help you determine what your career path could look like and your manager can help discuss what areas you might want to focus on to get you ready for the next step in that journey. There are plenty of resources on the Development Hub that you'll find helpful and we also recommend visiting the careers website to see what is currently available.

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

Thank you for taking the time to submit a review, however, we believe that you have left this in error. Our Co-op is based in the United Kingdom and have no association with Co-operatives in the USA. We've advised Glassdoor to allocate your review to the correct organisation, but you may wish to review and edit this yourself to ensure your views are represented correctly.
