  Tesco Employee, July 2022

• Best thing

  Best things are that it is good for students who want flexible work, nice early hours so you have the rest of your day.

  Worst thing

  1. I work 40 hours when I’m only contracted to 12 and if I ever tell my managers I need a day off or need to do my contracted hours for a week with plenty of notice they cry about it to the point it makes you unfortunately uncomfortable.

  2. I only get one half an hour break (which they time) in a 8 hour shift when the rest of the shop get a hour break.

  3. Managers treat you with no respect at all, worked there 6 year as I’m a student (since col to uni) and Tesco has gone massively down hill in the last few years in regards to respect to their employees. When head office (main boss) comes in all the managers switch up and actually get off their bums.

  4. So many people that work at Tesco have a diminishing mental health due to the lack of respect.

  5. Pay is bad, £10 is short for National living people can barely afford to live and are scraping by every month, if I only get a 30 min break when According to tesco I’m entitled to more and every other department gets to take more why don’t we at least get paid it.

  6. Customers are nasty and managers don’t do enough about it.

• Best thing

  The people you work with are lovely.

  Worst thing

  No praise for the hard workers, only for the ones that do nothing.
  Never spoke to the new store manager since he started before Xmas. Been 7months now..
  Want too much from you, they basically want you to flex up constantly and do the job of 3 people in a small amount of time/hours.

• Best thing

  My team leader always checked up on us on shift but were mostly busy themselves. My other colleagues were absolute gems. My pay was up to date and had some good tools at my disposal

  Worst thing

  There was always one shift leader that was rude and grumpy, and sometimes you're late to have a break due to ill prepared queue management.

  Worst thing

  Management is an absolute nightmare. They make your life hell, rude, and don't believe you and say 'it can't be wrong' when you say you've been paid wrong (later to be proven I was underpaid by half my wage). NOT approachable, no compassion or understanding. 'let go' /contract revoked at the worst possible time
