What's it like to work at the Co-op???

Whether part-time or full-time, we love hiring people that are looking for something more than merely a place to work, because the Co-op is the sort of place that may get into your heart and keep you for a while. Some of us have worked here for 4, 12, or 22 years and we're still really excited to be here!
