Good Team and Team manager to support. Good Head Office Facilities. Can be flexible depending on your role…

Desventajas

Company has completely lost its identity since Co-op Merger. Bringing in Senior Leaders and Directors to support with the merger, who do not share the existing Values of the company is completely shocking. Everything CBS has stood for previously is being washed away for ‘Growth’. Senior Directors telling teams ‘Good is good enough’ and actively planning to make certain processes WORSE to make it easier for the Co-op to catch up to our standards, and this is okay? Soon as the merger is completed from the Directors points of view, they’ll move onto their next project and we will be their picking up the pieces in regards to moulding the company back to what it was prior to the merger. Pay is shocking. Front line teams being expected to pick up more work, in expanding roles with expanding responsibilities for LESS pay? Removing certain Teams Shift allowances; reducing their pay by 10%, then at the same time releasing their new role profiles which state team members must remain flexible to work ‘all group working hours’?? What a fantastic, sneaky way to be able to save money. Really caring. It’s a shame certain Execs got lucrative bonuses for their expanding roles, yet the people that make the business tick get pay taken off them because they have no say.

Thank you for sharing this — and for your 8–10 years with us. It’s good to hear how much you value your team and manager, but it’s clear you’re frustrated and concerned about the direction of the organisation, particularly following the merger. We recognise the strength of feeling in your comments around maintaining our values, changes to ways of working, and the impact on pay and frontline teams. Those points — especially around fairness, workload, and consistency — are important and shouldn’t be overlooked. Your feedback reflects concerns we need to take seriously as we continue through this period of change. Thank you for taking the time to be open about your experience.

work-life balance and the annual company bonus i guess

Desventajas

1. department leadership in CIDO have favourites and dont support others 2. extremely slow to change, were going to eventually lose to challenges like revolut 3. again, favourites are promoted 4. decisions are made without consulting experts in the teams 5. we are just numbers, not people 6. there is no culture anymore, like others have said, the current FL and EL leadership have ruined the culture but now the get individual bonuses to do it 7. its the middle of may, we still haven't got full goals for the year 2026 yet lol, but sure, lets give management bonuses for 'achieving individual goals' which wont be stretched at all. 8. also, cbs HR may be responding to these comments saying 'we're sorry, and we'll do something about it' but absolutely nothing has changed, it is to save face to the public, but the 3.1 star rating is telling. all of these concerns have been raised in the great place to work or other surveys, yet nothing has changed
