Pros

the people you work with are generally nice, not the management (with exceptions), social aspect is ok also nights out every so often.

Cons

they make out like they are all for work/life balance and time off when you need it etc, they try to talk to you about how you must take holidays off weeks at a time and not a few days here and there!!!! NO they are MY holidays and i will use them as I need to not as you want me to!!!!!!

Cons

- repetitive tasks - bad customers, especially those for refunds - bad shifts - long hours e.g. 9 hour shift - salary low - no sense of challenge and personal growth

Pros

The pay is not too bad if you are over 18 and have worked there for a certain amount of time and you also get a 10% discount if you've worked there for over 6 months.

Cons

It is very monotonus working at tesco, my main job is stacking shelves which is very boring but that is the nature of the the job. I also feel there is little opportunity for advancement.
