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

9b. Why?

Whilst the role is so rewarding and such an incredible job, the company takes away from that. We understand that the funeral industry is business orientated but it feels as though the Co-op is just focusing on the business side, rather than on the client and deceased.

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

Make sure that you are willing to fight for your clients and put them first, as they should always be the main focus of what we do.
