What are stock controllers saying about pay at Tesco?

  • Best thing

    Good money for young workers as rate of pay is based on position not age. Can be easy to negotiate a contract that works around college/uni if you’re a student

    Worst thing

    If you work lates (10pm finish) managers will often try to make you stay late to tidy up the warehouse even if it’s got nothing to do with your department

    Unhygienic

    Managers often treat younger workers with disrespect

    Unrealistic goals

    Many managers don’t listen to what their team feeds back

    Managers frequently assuming younger workers are just chatting. No effort is made to find out what the “chat” is about

    Mental wellbeing is completely disregarded despite “good wellbeing” posters being plastered everywhere

    Not a lot of career progression opportunities

    Usually a lack of hours

    Managers are slow to respond to college inquiries/requests
