- managment are quite simply a joke
- problems with pay.
- forced to do overtime when you have other commitments anyway
- low morale / motivation
- general problems
Seriously, i am still working at this company, i am a student and i work saturdays 10-8. It was a gd first time job, as it enabled me to get paid and gain some valuable experience, but if you are looking for career prospects or are even considering tesco in the long-term, it is honestly not worth it. Do yourself a favour and go to sainsbury or another large retailer :L Ive simply had enough of this place, if you want to be forced into working extra hours, and on a number of occasions not get paid for it, then have to chase managment up for it then go ahead. furthermore, the management are a bunch of clowns with no people skills whatsoever. They spend more time on thier phones or 'rumbling' essentially cleaning the shelves rather than actually working or managing, what they are effectively trained to do.. obv, my experieneces could be argued as rather opinionated. But on the face of it, when you first start it seems brilliant, give or take 6 months and you will start to uncover the underlying problems which will never go away. They dont care about thier staff and they never will.. One last thing which i find incredibly frustrating about this company. Is the 'flexi contracts' they will literally do you over with them.. for some reason, the managers there expect you to be availabale to work 24/7!!!
