There needs to be more appreciation for the staff and what they do. This was my first job and the team leads taught me everything whereas I barely saw the manager, they taught me everything I know now yet they are so underappreciated and overworked. Needs to be higher staff morale, management really need to figure out how to get people to work as a team.

How are the working hours at Co-op Group?
Working hours and shift patterns will vary depending on the role you're applying for, and usually will appear on the job advert or will be discussed during the interview. For example, in our stores and funeral care homes there are colleagues who work full time or part time, who only work weekends or just three days per week. However, our logistics depots usually work in three shifts (6am to 2pm, 2pm to 10pm, 10pm to 6am). An our corporate roles are mostly standard office hours with flexible hours. But regardless of the part of the business you're applying for, the contractual hours and shift patterns will be stated on the advert and will be discussed in detail during the interview.Asked 24 March 2017
