Pros

Good pay, development opportunities available, and some great people. There are some fantastic store managers.

Cons

Management positions continually changed, never know how long your position will last before you have to fear redundancy or reapplication for other positions. Store managers can be unsupportive (rumble, most store managers and senior team seem to be found on phones "daily) instead of getting stuck in). Very long hours and lack of work life bàlance for management. Store managers appear on night shift from time to time, seems like a good idea, a good opportunity for them to understand the opperation and offer support, however its just a good excuse to disappear into an office and sit on a computer, not really interested in understanding or offering support. The most important people to tesco seems to be the Directors, unlimited overtime is available whenever a director is about to visit a store (this ensures that they always leave thinking everything is hunky dory), if only the same level of staffing was available to ensure customers received the same experience !!!! Could be a great place to work if not for the inconsistent management styles, there are old school who think that fear is the best way and those who take people with them and build respectful relationships.
