Pros

Good benefits, ok pay, friendly staff, fantastic customers, convienient job as it is local

Cons

Store managers are not trained so they treat all staff unfairly, as a team leader you don't get your breaks, always overlooked when it comes to progression

Pros

You know exactly what you're getting, there are no surprises. The staff are friendly enough and willing to help out newcomers where they can. A reasonable job for students who need some money to help them through university or college, or just want a little more spending money.

Cons

The work can be extremely tedious and repetitive, which is to be expected with this position. You'll begin to understand why so many staff at supermarket checkouts seem robotic. I can't recommend this position if you plan to work for more than a few months.

Pros

Very busy, fast-paced environment with high-calibre people, good opportunities to develop through training and experiencing different roles in the business (not uncommon for people to change roles every 6 months - 1 year).

Cons

Management don't live the Tesco values. Strategy is to offshore roles. Knowledge transfer/documentation for new starters is non existent.
