Tesco job reviews

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

Finish at 2pm at the latest, meaning you have a good chunk of the day left.

* 6am starts
* Constantly watched by management.
* Picking system is built to be 100% against the picker. Helping customers or even going to the toilet negatively affects your work. Managers do not care about this.
* Unfriendly/ unhelpful managers
* Managers favour their mates and young, attractive employees and treat everyone else like dirt

Sometimes easy and good laugh with people treat you right

Not a fair on tasks as it is favourite by other managers

Colleagues

Physically demanding
Managers don't listen

Able to work hours around children

Low staff morale, no recognition from store manager for job I do pay nor fair for position I'm In.

The team

Lack of hours

Every day is different
Meeting people
Out in the fresh air

Colleagues and selling what I sell

My manager, unrespectful customers

Other colleagues doing the same role

Management and customers

It’s easy, fits in with my home/work balance, get to meet people.

Some of the customers are very rude!
Also we don’t have the correct equipment, and the equipment we do have is not maintained
