9a. Would you recommend Co-op to a friend?

9b. Why?

I feel there is a large amount publicised around colleague support however in reality it’s not really there. I don’t feel we paid fairly for the work we do.

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Co-op?

I would recommend they ensure they get down time away from the job. Often it is expected to be available all the time.
