Pros

Easy job, especially as most drops in countryside, so no problem with traffic. Given plenty of time to do your deliveries, and often large gaps in your route as you cannot deliver early. Your route is worked out for you, so there is nothing you have to think about. You do not pick the shopping, you just load the trays of shopping on your van, which is not overly physical.

Cons

As with everywhere, ther are some lazy drivers who just look after themselves and do not help others to load their vans if you get back late, which can happen if, say, you have struggled to dinf an address, or traffic. Of course, they are the ones that moan if no one helps them. But mostly good guys who will help.

Pros

Interesting work, pretty good pay, high energy workplace, decent caff

Cons

1. Tesco's expand and contract policy of hiring staff ensures that people live in fear of being dumped at the slightest drop in market share. 2. Are you a contractor? Don't expect to get taken seriously. You know nothing. 3. It's a bit competitive so you can expect to be gossiped about.
