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.
Great for all aspects of retail
Sr Business Systems Product Manager (Former Employee) – El Segundo, CA – August 11, 2018
Great place for all levels to understand and advance in the retail space. Customer and employee centric except for certain corporate locations are top down in structure..
Tesco was an enjoyable place to work.
Assistant Manager/Property Manager (Former Employee) – Paducah, KY – July 6, 2018
I enjoyed my time at Tesco Properties. I learned so much about property management. I enjoyed working with all the tenants and helping them establish a home.
Low company moral, no team support.
OFFICE COORDINATOR (Former Employee) – Houston, TX – July 3, 2018
I would have preferred if they would hve listened to employee concerns and I would have like to see improvement with company morale. Incentives to help employees enjoy working at the company.
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.
Don’t work over time
Shop floor Assistant (Former Employee) – London – June 30, 2018
Good place to work , if management is not thief, they gave overtime and cheat with your overtime, environment is very nice all colleague are very friendly and helps each other. I would love to work there but not happy with overtime, management dose not pay exact overtime
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
I enjoy working for Tesco
petrol station assistant (Current Employee) – Devon – June 18, 2018
I have been working for Tesco for 9 years and I really get along with everyone I work with. Tesco has given me digger opportunity’s to work in multipule areas of the store which improves my knowledge with the company. The staff and managers are really friendly and are mostly easy to get along with.
Pros
Good breaks, good pay
Cons
Lack of contracted hours, not set shift patterns
It Varies for each individual
Customer Assistant (Former Employee) – Gwynedd – June 15, 2018
Some individuals thrive within the Tesco environment, I have seen someone shoot up from a customer assistant to a team leader within a year of service in the store with the potential to go further as a departmental lead in a lager store. However, I have struggled to find my true base within the company and while the atmosphere amongst staff is undeniably great, progression as a career is rather limited. Further hours were not offered to me through my part-time contract except overtime which was no guarantee every week.
Tesco also seems to have considerable problems paying its staff correctly, though as long as you keep on top of what you are owed and approach the pay officer within your store, it should be fixed by next pay day, but again, check that pay slip too.

Pros
Discounts

Not much room for progression in smaller shops
Great single mans job,struggle is real
Shop hand (Former Employee) – Odessa, TX – June 13, 2018
All about the money, manager change every year almost. Poor management choices from upper management. great coworkers hard work not for the faint of heart. I love the pressure and the weight on my shoulders.
Good place to work
Customer Service Assistant (Former Employee) – Boston, MA – May 1, 2018
I enjoyed my time here, it had quite a pleasant atmosphere and I was left to get on with my job. Shift work can be antisocial but that could be said of any place.
Pros
Good wages
Cons
Antisocial
Calm environment with good employees
Torck turn tech. Tong operator (Former Employee) – Odessa, TX – April 20, 2018
It's a good place to work there were some bump in the road along the way many that could have been resolved with more communication but overall a good company to work for and wouldn't have any problem working there again
Pros
Boot accounts at redwings
Cons
Only one set a year
Life at Tesco
Team Leader (Former Employee) – Various – April 7, 2018
Working at Tesco was at times enjoyable enough with great colleagues from across a variety of age groups, races and genders. Management and management styles varied with some being fair, helpful, understanding, supportive and others being the complete opposite. Some of the senior management team would be outwardly pleasant and approachable but in truth very untrustworthy and contradictory. The more senior the position the less you felt you could trust what they said.
The job in the main wasn't particularly stressful although that could change with the mood of the management or indeed the customers. A lot on emphasis was put on giving unhurried, excellent customer service,in practice this wasn't always possible because of the need to complete tasks and management not accepting the excuse you were assisting a customer.
As with any workplace employing over a 150 members of staff there could be clashes of personality and cliques were common place but staff were generally OK.

Pros
staff discounts, above minimum national wage pay rates
Cons
Management ideas from CEO down and the apparent lack of understanding of the impact, practicality, ridiculousness of their ideas!

Oil field
Safety Committee Representative (Former Employee) – Houston, TX – March 19, 2018
Its the oilfield. its the oilfield. Its the oilfield. This is forcing me to leave a review. When signing up for a sight like indeed you shouldn't make it a requirement to rate an old company you worked for.
