Pros

Offer good salary & benefits

Cons

Terrible management, current interview process is horrendous for ND candidates, Having a very unclear format - having to pre record video questions (which is a one shot opportunity) and then after offering support, receiving NONE. So disappointed as really wanted to return to Coop but they've made it impossible. Talk the talk but DO NOT WALK THE WALK!

Thank you for your review and feedback. We're not sure when you last applied for a role with us, but we do not currently use video interviews for our roles as we phased these out in July. We regularly review our application processes and for a time we used video interviews for some of our head office based roles. The video interview technique enabled candidates to see the questions before preparing an answer and a re-record should they need to. Our current process involves some assessments designed to measure your suitability for the role and alignment to Co-op behaviours. We also send out all of our interview questions ahead of the interview, with the exception of some technical based questions specific to the role.

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
