The pay and the discount
Customer Service Associate (Former Employee) - Londonderry, NH - May 6, 2022
Indeed Featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedFor a company the pay is great although everyone who joins now is on a flexible contract meaning you won’t know what shifts you do each weeks and you’ll be on a contract less than 10 hours. They’re doing this ideally so you don’t get enough holiday pay and yiu can’t complain so it’s hard to balance your social life

Bad
Customer Service (Former Employee) - Trafford - May 31, 2022
Not a very good company to work for, too much work for so little reward. Maybe ok for part time if youre in uni or college. Id avoid it overall. Not a great place to be.

Managers don't really care or have a clue
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) - Tesco - May 24, 2022
Okay place to work whilst in college. Long term be prepared to just fade away. Managers don't care about their employees, they just want good overall stats for their store. Hr are just non existent anymore, it's been discontinued. Overall I enjoyed the friends I made but would never say to someone to work here. Customer walk all over employees even though you've been told to say one thing a manager comes down and basically talks over you.

Customer Assistant
Customer Assistant (Former Employee) - Folkestone, SC - May 23, 2022
Met some amazing people, but the management was terrible, had no idea how to support people. Also, management seem to think they're better than you because of their position, everyone's human at the end of the day.

No communication

Very poor communication or mixed communication at best. Zero accountability. No sense of belonging. Too many double standards. The bad are allowed to continue to get away with it whilst the good are put on even more to compensate The tail wags the dog
Pros
Paid 4 weekly
Cons
Long hours. No leadership. No communication. No accountability. No real feeling of worth

Great people! Enjoyed the customer service side!
Cashier/Customer Service (Former Employee) - Crawley - April 23, 2022
Loved working here! Got to work on different departments. Tills was my favourite, enjoyed chatting to customers as you scan their items! Also worked sometimes in the bakery to help out, which was great too!

Not great
Customer Assistant (Current Employee) - Bristol - April 22, 2022
Management is terrible, usually understaffed and no opportunity for overtime (they will hire more people though instead of giving existing staff members overtime) The people make it and it’s the best part about it. Many people are unhappy though and it makes working sometimes insufferable.

Decent part time job
Night Stocker (Former Employee) - Warwick, UK - March 19, 2022
Some good people are not the best company when it comes to management, staff retention, salary, and progression in regards to your career. A lot of favoritism between management and employees so if you're new you'll be worked hard and forced to do overtime
Pros
Free lunches for night shift
Cons
pay, hours, progression

Understaffed and easily replaceable
Customer Assistant (Current Employee) - Ireland, IN - February 25, 2022
Management don’t care about staff, flexibility is not something that is offered with many staff working late shifts 24/7, understaffed and overworked. Staff moved around departments constantly so there is little room for growth and getting comfortable in your role.
Pros
Pay, paid tea breaks, sunday pay
Cons
Limited hours, no flexibility, under appreciated

Boring job as a deli clerk but you can not expect more when doing this job
deli clerk (Former Employee) - New Jersey - February 23, 2022
Typical job as a deli clerk, you work with food. It can get disgusting, especially when you are washing the dishes and there is a lot of food left. Sometimes there are rude customers, but you can not blame that on a job. It is a routine work which means that everyday is the same.

Excellent Management and Colleagues
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) - New York, NY - February 19, 2022
Typically your day working within a Tesco Superstore can be repetitive. However I enjoyed working for this company because of the people. Management were absolutely amazing along with my colleagues. Over the years I spent working for Tesco I made life long friends which I still remain in contact with to this day. I learn a lot about leadership, Tesco provides opportunities to grow and learn especially if you wish to become management. Workplace Culture - Its Great, you have busy days almost every evening and weekend especially around the holidays. However a bit of humor and a good team work ethic helps reduce the stress. Hardest part of the Job, working public holidays. Most enjoyable part? - Interaction with the customers, people from all walks of life.

Tough
Night Replenishment (Current Employee) - Factory Lane - February 7, 2022
It is a great start up place but I would not recommend staying there too long if you are trying to better yourself as a whole. The pay is not that great and monthly.
