Pros

Was an ethical organisation with real member control and democracy. Member and community engagement was at forefront of organisation running excellent ethical campaigns that members cared about.

Cons

Co-op has lost its ways in terms of member ownership and governance, no longer a true co-op. People who had long service there and made redundant were never thanked for their devotion to their roles and the society.

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
