Pros

A truly dedicated core of staff, who see the Co-op as so much more than a job, people will go above and beyond for the group, the difference between this and a corporate job is clear. ownership of the group

Cons

In my opinion, the Co-op feels like it straddles the line between public and private sector, great benefits for it's staff but so protective of them it can be difficult to deal with low performance

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
