Pros

Tesco's is huge, there is plenty of scope to move around - providing you don't have your moves blocked because you are deemed too critical to that role - which happens quite a lot if you are not on the Graduate Program. Plenty of different technologies. Working with people across the group. Fast pace. Benefits package was good

Cons

Graduates get progression, others barely get a look in. Increasingly aggressive management that DO NOT LISTEN to those that actually do the role, hence some terrible decision making. They pay no attention to work life balance. Nice people do not progress. Pay increases do not happen, negotiate a good starting package - you won't get a decent increase.

Pros

Fantastic subject matter, varied and interesting work. I do enjoy my job and I like my immediate team. I work in an interesting department though (Group Food)

Cons

Terrible and arrogant management, awful structures. No professional qualification training. Very hierarchical. Awful salaries. Take advantage of younger staff by paying inadequately. 'UK' section of the food business is run by wide boy types. Few opportunities for promotion. Embarrassing office in an awful location.
