As I work for another cooperative company, I do appreciate everything coops are able to do for their employees and members. I imagine job opportunites/careers are similar to where I work so lots of different opportunites for people!

Molly Garrow · Answer

ummmm I guess I don't really have any ideas of cooperatives as employers. I assume they have normal jobs all companies have like marketing, management, efficiency, engineers. I'm not entirely sure the variety of jobs offered.

Trevor Denison · Answer

I imagine having a cooperative as an employer is just like any other job, but maybe with more community influence on what exactly you're doing in the job. As a student, I hope cooperatives offer internship opportunities for potential future careers.
