The team environment is often praised, with many staff members forming strong friendships with their colleagues.

Not the dream come true little stationery nerds think it's going to be, lol

The good thingsOther team members were mostly great, and for me, at least, VM changeovers and stock flips were a lot of fun

The challengesDiabolically awful management who really don't like being called out on it. I was given a key and management responsibilities after being there less than a month, and throughout my time there, the number of team members never exceeded 5, which sucked for a city store

It was fun to work there but at the same I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

The good thingsIf you worked with a friend it was fun and the staff discount across all COG stores was nice.

The challengesManagement treated casuals very harshly and would always micro manage. if you didn't meet KPIs you would get treated differently or get less shifts. There's basically no room for career growth
