Enjoyed the type of work I did there.
Welder/fabricator (Former Employee) – Coral Springs, FL – November 25, 2018
Long hours, no benefits, low pay. Very hazardous and cramped working conditions. Hired through a placement company and promised to hire full time with benefits, but after 2 years, never did. Was laid off then later asked to come back to work again through placement company.
Opportunities to get on
Team/shift Leader (Former Employee) – West Midlands – December 28, 2018
Within Tesco that ware ample opportunities to get on and move up the ladder. Take a lot of hard work and dedication to the job you do. The benefits are great and there is an incentive job bonus yearly.
No growth here
Facilities Maintenance TECH (Former Employee) – Sacramento, CA – June 24, 2018
Poor management, at the TESCO controls wwe make traffic panels wastewater panels and te water control panels. There goal is to keep the company to themselves and keep any outsiders out of the loop, they always said that the love of all money is the root of all evils and so true it is TESCO controls proved it 100 percent.
Pros
benefits ok
Cons
Management poor
The company is really good for gaining experience but not very good leadership
Groundskeeper/Maintenance (Current Employee) – Louisville, KY – July 1, 2018
First starting here I was working outside and spent time inside vacant apartments and running OPC. But as time progressed things were no longer ran by communication, just based off the office wanted. Which is understandable but not when everything is so close together and they think you’re slacking when certain things don’t get done. They really like to point fingers and it always puts me in fear of losing my job. Besides the childish drama, the work pays well in wages and benefits.
Family owned and managed. Great people.
Property manager (Current Employee) – Murfreesboro, TN – February 17, 2019
Promotion from within is attainable, Company recognizes and rewards accomplishments, annual managers' seminar with job- related training provided, regional manager takes a personal interest in all employees at each site.
Pros
Reduced rent for employees, company pays 100% of health insurance premiums. Flexible when it comes to time off.
Cons
No dental insurance.
Quick paced customer service
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) – Dundee – November 20, 2018
Typical day of work is clocked telephone support. Times logged for breaks, etc.
The time spent here gave an extensive experience of varying customer service examples. Management were very professional and the work place culture was sociable if you opted in to social activities.
Hardest part of the job was ticket handling - mostly when system errors would occur. Some abuse from clients.
Most enjoyable part of the job was grateful customers.

Good management
Top Drive Technician (Former Employee) – Houston, TX – March 4, 2018
Long hours and either no days off, or no work. Learned how to utilize and maintain multiple sizes of top-drives. Management was easy to get along with, and offered help over the phone when out in the field. The hardest part of the job was never knowing how long you'd be out in the field, or how long you'd be off. The most enjoyable part of the job was learning about the equipment.
Pros
good pay and benefits
Cons
long hours and no set schedule
Good experience

Busy work place (supermarket)
Customer Service Assistant (Former Employee) – England, AR – January 28, 2019
It was a quick paced set-up where i had to be on my toes all the time, ensuring i do not over price the customer. I interacted with different cultures since the environment in the city was cosmopolitan. It was a challenge trying to champion customer needs but made good sense of completion upon finishing a task assigned.
Pros
staff discounts
Cons
Short breaks
Had a good experience working for tescos

A great place to work with great support and advancement options
Customer Service Manager (Current Employee) – Dundee Customer Engagement Centre, Scotland – October 2, 2018
I love my job. My team are fantastic and my Manager is very supportive. I have been doing this role for 6 years and I still learn new things. We have a fantastic support network within the centre. We have plenty of opportunities to develop or advance and many areas of the business we can move in to. We work closely with Health and Safety Executives and Local Authorities to ensure that all legally reportable incidents are reported within the designated time scales. Every day is filled with a balance of serious work and lots of laughs with teammates. We are recognised for good customer feedback as well as hard work. This role has allowed me the opportunity to develop my skills and knowledge and recognizes the work I put in away from the office.

Not a lot of overtime.

Operational Military Testing
Test Plans Analyst (Former Employee) – Fort Hood, TX – September 7, 2018
This was a great job until 9/11. We would field and test new equipment for the military prior to them buying it. After 9/11 funding for these kinds of projects dried up and work started to swindle. I learned a lot while working there and it really helped set up my future career.
