Menial work, managers can oftentimes be poorly trainedThe work can be pretty mindless but the pay is okay for the work and it’s honestly fine for a few short years as a temporary job

Productive but boring days

Warehouse Operative (Former Employee) - Ballymun, County Dublin - 22 September 2023

Not great not awful . Good facilities and management seemed to be helpful for the most part. Potential to progress is minimal. Work is repetitive and at times stressful.

Depressing and very clicky

General Assistant (Current Employee) - Ballina, County Mayo - 20 September 2023

Company is trying to cut corners in every possible way especially when it comes to staff. It actually used to be a fairly good and fun place to work but over the years it’s going downhill rapidly. God help you if you have any length of service with this company because all they will want is rid of you for it. New contracts are worthless

Kept busy

Sales Assistant (Former Employee) - Dublin, County Dublin - 20 September 2023

Decent hours, always kept busy whether on tills or shop floor so shift goes quickly. Flexible hours so very hand if you are a college student. Pay could be better.

Not the best

Customer Assistant (Current Employee) - Thurles, County Tipperary - 12 September 2023

Honestly management need to communicate better with each other because one manager tell you to do something and another tells gives out for doing it. Always been told to go faster. Certain people get away with murder but others watched like a hawk. The pay isn’t worth how customers treat you and they treat you worse in here I feel cause management have a “customer is always right” mindset.Could go on for hours but if the management was better I would love it cause my colleagues are lovely and will comfort you when you’re upset and the security guard will try his best to help more than some managers

Toxic

Sales Assistant (Current Employee) - Dublin, County Dublin - 7 September 2023

Bad place to work no room for progression and poor management. Premium time taken away from us and newer staff on a higher flat rate. Don’t get stuck in here

Productive

Warehouse Operative (Former Employee) - Derry, County Cork - 31 August 2023

Ok to work in but can get very stressful sometimes, money ok but could be better management ok. All in all just ok to work in at times. Working day consists of early starts with sometimes late finishes

Okay place to work

Pro: Great opportunities to progress and always busy with day to day duties.Con: Understaffing and low pay hourly rate is causing a lot of turnover and destroying moral within stores.

Fair

Customer Service (Former Employee) - Douglas, County Cork - 31 July 2023

Decent and fair work and very easy to get by in. Work reasonably and there won’t be any problems. Great as a college job or a first time job. Contracts are getting worse now for new employees

Under staffed and over worked

Shop Floor Assistant (Former Employee) - Birr, County Offaly - 26 July 2023

You are expected to do the job of 2 people. I suffer with back issues as a result of the pressure to complete massive deliveries on my own in a short space of time.

Fun and rewarding place to work

Customer Assistant (Former Employee) - Galway - 18 July 2023

Overall working at Tesco was a good experience. Always had a laugh with my colleagues and there was always great chemistry amongst the staff. Some downsides include the negative encounters you can have with rude customers and also the shift patterns you can be expected to work sometimes.

Repetitive

Care Agent (Former Employee) - Waterford, County Waterford - 7 July 2023

Repetitive work environment, Horrible staff treat you like a number and not a person. Heavily statistic based where one mistake is treated like a bombshell in the office and will set what type of person you are in their eyes. Pay is good if you can handle the TLs and Ops managers as most of them are snobs
