Tesco Employer Reviews

Typical day at work for me is hourly checks of shop floor, toilets, cafe's, and all other parts of the store. Attending spills, use of cleaning machinary and other tools.

I learnt how to be assertive, always alert, and always to be ready for a busy day.

Cleaning tesco shop floor walking round the shop sweeping up any rubbish and removing marks from the floor

working in a store like tesco was eye opening to how enjoyable work could really be. Everyone i worked with was polite and enthusiastic, helpful when needed. The hardest part of my job would have been the conditions in which we had to work in, your job becomes difficult when to many people are around how ever the best part of my job was the satisfaction – more... you get after completing a task well. – less

Worked with a good team of people Good job satisfaction and career alternatives

i really enjoyed being busy and the constant stream of different people, i didn't really like quiet times but there was always plenty to do. i met lots of people and i was sad to leave.

Awful company to work for, they don't value their staff one little bit.

A typical day at Tesco would be stocking shelves with fresh food such as ready meals, dairy, meat, chicken and fruit juices. I also regularly worked on the checkouts serving customers. I learned a lot working at Tesco, I had lots of training within many fields of work such as; Age related sales, Safety in the workplace, Fire evacuation, Fresh food hygiene – more... & handling. Management and co-workers were lovely and they were a pleasure to work with! The hardest part of the job would be when you have to work within a deadline. This was rare when we had to rush to get the job done but I kept things different and offered more challenging work. By far the most enjoyable part of the job would simply being satisfied with the work and assistance you have given to the customers and your co-workings. – less

It was at Tesco where I found my confidence in able to talk to others with ease, conversing with customers and my colleagues at a respectable level. I have stepped in as Team Leader which gave me a range of advanced skills in how the business works, and also worked on other departments voluntarily. Colleagues are easy to talk to and approach if there – more... is an issue, with respect at both ends to be able to resolve the issue at question. After five years of working here, I do not believe it holds the opportunities for the skills I wish to possess, nor the career path I wish to follow. – less

i found working for tesco excellent, very supportive when i had personal problems, was sad to leave

With this company although the industry is in high demand, the job is risky, there was no big benfits that came from this company except health insurance and the gaining of experience. Couldn't get enough hours and fairness was dry.

very large company supplying the largest grocery chain in the U.K.

As the store was a new one, the most enjoyable part of job was building a team, and watching it grow into a successful bakery unit all working and supporting each other.Enjoyed all aspects of the position as Manager.

Have a great experiance with TESCO, good co-workers & enjoyed a lot.

As it is a young company there are many opportunities to interact with the senior executives. There is always an open door policy which creates a very open atmosphere.

As a risk analyst in a small company I am not just focussed on a particular area because as well as operational risk I get involved in financial and insurance risk

There was a place with no posiblity to take no skills, made me like a machine

A challenging role delivering up to 2.5 million units to 300+ stores in London and the south east while maintaining legal compliance with drivers rules and regulations with tachograph and working time directive law
Crew management by team is imperative to maintain moral and standards
Job has been made easier by having the right team behind me
Hardest – more... part of the job is being able to maintain KPI,s while still giving exemplary service to the customer – less

It was one sunny Sunday at work, where I was contracted to work for four hours only. However, I have to stay longer as I previously thought, Because it was very busy day so my manager was like can you stay a bit longer, so agreed but what I didn't know is that I have to stay till 15:00 instead of 12:00. So after work I have hang around with my colleagues. – more... it was fun with my workers till late in the evening. – less

A typical day on csd was to serve customers with cigs and lotto and issue refunds or exchanges whilst they alwayswas a long queue other members of staff would stand back from pressing there bell whilst myself was constanly busy. A sexist place to work and if your face fitted you were OK otherwise you didn`t fit in. Myself was multi-skilled in many departments – more... so was always put on another dept if we were not busy. DO NOT WORK FOR TENKO – less

Fun to work, was trained to lift properly, and was given fire training, everything that was taught was thorough, managers were helpful and so were the other workers.

Only got 1 week of training before going online. Really busy and very stressful. Management were an absolute joke and not nice at all. You were ok if your face fitted! Trainer was lovely though as were my collegues - only good thing about this job. Couldn't wait to leave.
