Does Co-op offer family leave?
Pros
The maternity pay and the sick pay is the only benefit to the company
Cons
Do not understand mental health, tried to stop my pay when I went off sick with post natal depression. Took the job I had spent so long trying to get away from me when I returned from my maternity leave. Full of false promises. Make out like the bonus scheme is really good but there's so many things that can give you a handicap that you probably won't even get a bonus after stressing yourself out so much to get it.
Advice to Management
Needs new management, who have training in mental health.
