Tesco job reviews

The Colleagues

The pay is above minimum wage. I’ve had to work harder for less from other jobs, so it’s not too bad.

We have no manager and it’s been like that for a while !!!! Our department has been falling to pieces. Hours have been cut like mad and other managers from other departments are clueless about how fnf works. So as a whole it’s been chaotic and its been quite draining for us staff.

Good discount
Partly flexible

Management don’t care about staff
Management have no respect for regular staff
Expected to drop everything to stay past your shift when they are busy
Wages department often make errors on payslips, and it takes months to get any money they owe you back

Same schedule almost every week

Heavy lifting almost all shift long, different kind of breaks depending on how the employer is hired.

Pay
Sociable
People you work with
Active

Short staffed
Responsibility

The best thing is working with such nice and friendly people

Having to deal with hard and challenging customers

Can be very rewarding hitting targets and making a customers visit enjoyable

When staff sickness and holiday leaves you with a skeleton crew and your job becomes unachievable due to lack of staff

Team work on departments

Manager role doesn't have enough hours to do our job properly get no job satisfaction

Bad pay tesco is turning in to Amzon with out the pay .
Work load is unmanageable.
All the general assistant who work at tesco are stressed due to lack of staff bad communication from managers and companie who rely on Facebook to keep staff updated with company news .
No rewards for hard work.
You do get a bonus but it doesn't reflect your hard work and time .
There is no real way to progress in the company.

The people who I work with and the customer

Being art of a team

Heavy lifting

Well paid, decent employer with paid holidays and perks.

Sometimes heavy lifting.

Working with a good team

Driving around West Sussex and meeting the custimers

Flexible hours

Can be quite stressful at times

It's extremely close to home.

Although on a flexi contract there is nothing flexible about it!

i can do my job well and am left to do so

The people I work with

Cheeky customers

The customers are friendly and always say hello when they are shopping

Managers not understanding how heavy the daily workload is.

Hours, staff, and the job

Things not being done right before me

The staff discount and getting to connect with customers

The fact that we always have to rush, most times there is no time for proper quality service.

Meeting people

Having to get up early

90% of the customers.

The other 10% of the customers.

The people you work with, they are the best group

The hours, it’s retail, what do you expect

Pressure of short staff and extra work

customer service and colleague interaction.

The people I work with and the satisfaction of doing a good job

Being pressured into doing 2-3 people's job just because I'm good at mine

Customers are lovely compared to hospitality

They can never get the wages right. Anxiety every 4 weeks. Staff underpaid.

Being spoken to like an idiot undervalued but expected to get on with your job regardless

The team
Going home

Always have to be on call
It's your fault if not enough people turn up to work even though they refuse to have more then 2 staff members in at any point
Having to do the job of 3 people whilst only being paid for one person
No investment in staff
Being encouraged not to take breaks as the workload is to high

There is always something to do each day no day is the same

Sometimes don't get treated like a human

Customers and staff are mostly friendly

Certain customers and shop lifter's

Pay is good compared to other supermarkets

Very bullying atmosphere. Team leaders suck up to managers and treat customer assistants very badly. Also managers don't try to help staff at all, nor give us rotas more than 24hrs in advance so you can't plan anything

People in my shop are great

No staff doing the work of 3 people

Local

Early starts and late finishes

Hours, staff benefits

Not always listen too by management

Lifetime stable job.

Stress, work so hard then take advantaged of then others don’t work hard . Under-appreciated the list goes on.

The job itself

Team members i work with

Some people are lovely

Been left alone, no team work,

Hours to suit family life

Work load increasing without consultation
Lack of communication and finding out that time and a half was being cut to time and a quarter for Sunday’s through a newspaper article!

People I work with

Management

I work with a great team

Colleagues

Pressure put upon us. Staff cuts.

The Wednesday customers, the people I work with

The managers

Meeting a variety of different people

No respect from managers and they don’t listen to issues we have

It keeps me active, motivated and I’m able to learn new more things

The hourly payments and being part time and temporal

Working with some great people, and not having to commute far for work.

Always short staffed, and the work expected of you seems to get more and more constantly. Head office obviously don't care about the shop floor staff. For example, they got rid of cleaners in the height of the pandemic. The pay isn't great for whats expected of you.

The hours suits in the day and the pay is OK

Time of day I start

Convenient location
Easy work

Its boring
No opportunity to advance
Not a mixed cultural environment
