Tesco reviews

Lack of staff within the stores means that as a manager you are constantly doing a customer assistant role and never really leading and managing your team. When promotions happen is is all about who you know and too many people get appointed into roles due to someone they know rather than there actual skill set. There is no work life balance when working in Tesco stores in terms of management every member of management is always in on a Saturday and working excessive hours for royal visits or to cover staff shortages is very common.

Most of the senior management are ex Accenture boys and those who report to them are known to Micro-manage their staff especially in Tesco IT. Culture in Tesco IT of breaking down employee by constant criticism/ reminding you that you can be easily replaced and that your paid too much money until employee leaves, is unable to leave and is kicked out or is moulded into one of their "yes" men/women. There was also a tendency for the managers to question your abilities and in some cases ask you to perform a tesk but will also ask a senior colleague to do the same task as they do not trust you. And this is from day 1, not day 10 or something. Offices in Letchworth were bitterly cold due to over powering air con, and a depressing place to be with little light.
