      Customer Assistant for Express stores.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pay is ok, nice colleagues.

      Cons

      In express stores, extremely busy and long shift hours of 9 hours + with only 30 mins break. Even if you close at 11pm you are expected to work again at 6am?? Staff are given a large amount of stock every day and majority of the time it is hard to manage, as well as a large number of whoosh orders coming in everyday. Staff in express stores need a much larger wage for the amount of work you have to do (stacking whilst on till, tobacco, lottery, evri parcels, whoosh, cleaning etc). Mentally and physically draining.

      Good Place to Work for Young People

      Customer assistant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Very good breaks compared to most companies- guaranteed break for shifts of more than 4 hours and 90 mins break for 9+hrs shift -Friendly colleagues generally -Very good pay if you are a young person, as all customer assistants paid the same no matter the colleagues age- was earning double the minimum wage when I was working there at 17 -Very accommodating to students who are only back for holidays- extremely easy to come back and work as a 'retained student' -Job is most ideal for people (especially school leavers and students) to use as a stop gap

      Cons

      -Can be poor management on occasions, especially when it comes to organisation -Poor pay if not a young person, as the pay is not that much above the adult minimum wage -Colleague discount only 10% (more on payday weekends)- only really worth it if you buy a lot from Tesco -Can be quite a cliquey work environment, though this depends on the colleagues and the manager -Very low chances of progression from customer assistant to manager as there's a lot of shop floor staff and not many management positions, with new managers often coming straight from other stores and often being the most socially 'popular' staff

      Don't get stuck

      Pros

      Not many - nice people I suppose

      Cons

      Too many lifers who surround themselves with good people. Restructures ever 18 months means it's a culture of fear, as you are led to believe your role is constantly on the line
