Fast paced, good company, lots of benefits
Good company to work for, lots of employee benefits. Fast paced environment, lots of on the job training. Shift work is the hardest part of the job, not having regular shift patterns because they change.
Worst decision I ever made
Tesco has 2 faces. The face the public see and the face you as an employee see. They take "fully flexible" and truly use it as a weapon. If your seen as someone that rocks the boat even with a genuine reason. They will use this against you. The pay is ok. If you manage to stick around for 3 years to reach the pay cap. Keep in mind your hourly pay is offset as they only hire on 25 hour contracts. After 3 years they really try to make work as awkward as possible. It's cheaper the hire a new person so the same role on a new 25 hour contract on the lower pay rate. The way the company operated is a mess. There is no correct way of doing anything becuase managers and team leaders have different ways to do everything. This essentially means you are always making mistakes and they love pointing this out. Honestly avoid at all costs.

It was very fast paced.
I was on tills during the Christmas period for a lenght of three weeks. Training went on for four hours which I found could have been better having more training. It was very very very busy at all times.
Productive and fulfilling.
Sales assistant and Technical Engineer (Former Employee) – Liffey Valley Shopping Centre, County Dublin – 3 January 2020
I did technical support and assisting in sales on a daily basis. This jo b was fulfilling but at times was challenging. Over coming these challenging obstacles was important to a pleasant working experience.

Nice management, nice staff, warm and peaceful workplace. Getting a fully flexible working hours in Tesco you have a chance to make money and keep your lifestyle.
Good working environment
It was a good place to do my work experience as the staff are very friendly and helped me when I was stuck. The management showed me what to in a very easy and simplistic way which helped me work easier
Awful place to work
Unnecesary pressure from management. They are rude and have no idea how to organize the staff. They have no patience and are ill mannered, so that soon all the initial friendlyness evaporates and the real situation gets exposed: slave work, bad salary, constant pressure and employees working with dead eyes and bad mood.

its nice
it was good yet it was only work experience i learned a lot of new things and I was a great team player.At first it was very new to me butility I got the hang of it and adapted very quickly.
Nothing
Nothing to say about this company only very unfair place to work in and they bully staff they dnt like.......................................................
Shame
Very bad place like a prison camp. Not recommened to anyone! Keep it place away. You are treated like a number in statistic not like a human. Nobody care about H&S
Not good
One of the hardest jobs I ever had wouldn't recommend it to any not a nice place to work the lads I work with are nice to work with but the management staff are not they use u when they feel like it and never appreciate all the work we do for them all they want is to look good to the other boss that they answer to there is more boss there than staff cant wait to get out of there
Balance
They were really great employers. While I was in school they were really understanding about the hours I could do and when I was on holidays I was offered extra hours bit not over loaded. There was a fair balance. I really enjoyed the work as well
Work/life balance is unfair
Pay is low and management is terrible. External management don't care about individuals all they care about is hitting targets. Work/life balance is awful. The surveys about working there are terrible and are guided towards giving good reviews. Management sit in with you as you are doing the great place to work survey. I was not asked to do the great place to work survey because i would have told the truth
