What people are saying about sick pay at Tesco

• Best thing

  Above NMW, good team

  Worst thing

  A lot of abuse from customers, breaks rairly happen for team support (you only get them if there is time), not enough resources to do the job well and we get issues from managers because of the job we are doing.
