Team Leader Review

I'm a Team Leader. I basically run the shop's daily operations on my shifts. I set out what needs to be done, and make sure all legal requirements are met, as well as lead the team on my shifts.

Yes, of course. Anything else would be an enormous waste of time and money. THe legal basics of managing a store and also finer minutiae of leadership in a retail environment.

I do enjoy it a lot. Though it is a bit harder to manage it all during a pandemic when everything is done online via distance. Takes a bit more discipline this way.

Seen to be well structured so far, plowing threw the basics first and slowly getting more advance as we go..

Medium. Sadly my Store Manager is stressed for any time, seeing as we are under staffed, and keep getting our hours cut by Coop, getting almost 200 hours less than equivalent or smaller stores per week. (as I've been told during the apprenticeship when we compare notes, so true figures) The mother company cares zilch for individual colleagues or stores unless it's a "store of excellence" which they use to brag.

I get sufficient support. I haven't asked for more, so can't say I don't get enough, really...

Hopefully it will help a lot. Would be a moot point to do all this otherwise. Not quite in a position to say. A lot left to go...

Not really no. But they DO offer things centrally, for us to do by our own volition...

No

I've had enough myself with how they want to pretend to be different but it's all abt money in the end. Murray gets £ 3.5 million per year. We get £15k. If we're lucky. Lots of extra work to do to keep everyone safe during a pandemic, but NO extra hours to do so. Instead they CUT our hours...

Don't? Or make sure it's a temporary job. Unless you really love retail, or it's your one way of getting a career. Then Coop is the best way I guess, they really DO offer a great career path...
