      Dont Bother - Warehouse Operative Co-op Employee Review

      1.0
      May 13, 2025
      Warehouse operative
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      -Decent pay on certain shifts -Coop have good company benefits -other warehouse OPs are good to work with

      Cons

      -Management are useless -Trainers, Warehouse support assistants, all think they are better than warehouse OPs and are generally just horrible to you -Management have no clue how the job works or how to run a warehouse -Labour management system is massively incorrect but you are still measured on performance -Important issues are not corrected, but instead they make stupid changes to minor rules on the fly -Rota is aweful, expect to have no life -toxic environment -managers get sacked for sexual harrasment and then get rehired -no training or progression unless you are in with a certain crown or you have a manager that is -Again, 95% of the managers are arseholes, will treat you like dirt, you can't have a conversation with them about the job as they have no idea how it works and only care about their little spreadsheets

      Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry that you feel this way. We do take your concerns seriously and the allegation of misconduct is particularly serious. We strongly encourage you to provide more information through our former colleague contact form at colleagues.coop.co.uk/contacts so we can investigate appropriately.

      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
