I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Co-op (London, England) in July 2025
Interview
Led to the storage unit office, a quick 10 minute interview. STAR questions. Pretty straightforward but the setting felt a bit off-putting. Easy structure to follow, they ask you about availability. Clockboard walking around the store to note down things to take care of.

Easy going and supportive, was laid back and the questions were good, the staff are very nice as well, the questions were straight fowards and easy going. Relaxed interview overall
Interviewer was really lovely, was interviewed in the office of the shop, had a set structure of questions and required some prior knowledge about the history of the co-op. There were a few questions that required you to assess a given situation from the interviewer and say how you would respond.
Thank you for sharing your experience of interviewing with us. We're pleased that you had an enjoyable experience. Reviews like yours help people understand what to expect.
applied online then received an invite for a phone call interview. this was not a video call just a voice call, which I felt was quite informal but I guess its not a formal job.
