work wasnt too challenging but managment werent flexible or comunicative
CUSTOMER SERVICE ASSISTANT (Former Employee) – Malahide, County Dublin – 20 September 2019
work wasnt too challenging but managment werent flexible or comunicative, 25 hours a week was mainly 7pm-11pm 5 days a week which made for a poor work life balance
Not an enjoyable experience
Senior Sales Assistant (Former Employee) – Carrick-on-Suir, County Tipperary – 21 September 2019
Would not recommend working here as management in the majority of cases are out of their depth and dont have the skill set needed in a busy retail atmosphere
Every little doesn't help
General assistant (Current Employee) – Ireland – 21 September 2019
Stressful with limited staff with low pay and bad management, bad managerial decisions. Employees are far past a second thought with limited to zero advancements and will look after customers before staff and this can be seen in stores Nationwide. Terrible company.
Pros
Can be okay for students
Cons
Soul sucking atmosphere
Tough employers
Night Manager (Former Employee) – Wicklow – 19 September 2019
Tough employers to work for demands on so little staff unrealistic .work life balance was ok 3 out of 4 weekends working depending on who done roster.Booking time off was hard but most of time got it
Overall pleasant workplace
Customer Assistant (Former Employee) – Limerick – 15 September 2019
I enjoyed my time with Tesco, banter among staff and engaging with customers etc.. my only issue was the management - the team leaders in particular. My store was quite small, so few staff on at a time and one team leader. When i began working, i received no training whatsoever. My first day on the job (having had NO prior experience in a busy shop) I was left on tills by myself. I had to teach myself everything. They didnt take this on board, and when i tried to communicate with them, they treated me like it was my fault and i was incompetent. They made me feel disregarded and silly. NOT A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT FOR SOMEONE SENSITIVE/ ANXIOUS.
Excellent workplace
Checkout Operator (Former Employee) – Galway – 13 September 2019
Great workplace for advancement in career, great management and a wonderful work environment. A difficult job to manage with childcare due to late evening shifts and also you have to be fully flexible. No fixed rosters, flexible from week to week. Overall I loved my job and I was very sorry to have to depart the company, was just no longer suitable for me to work late evening and night shifts.
Pros
Great pay, great colleagues, great management
Cons
Full flexibility required, late evening shifts
Great place to work
Supervisor (Current Employee) – Bailieborough, County Cavan – 11 September 2019
If you minus the drama from certain people, it's a great place to work and grow, both as an individual and as a colleague from a general assistant to management there are many ways to go up the ladder and no shortage of help from management.
Pros
Discount for employees, 4 weeks paid leave plus more if you do overtime, fast advancement to new levels and training
Cons
Depending on the store: management, colleagues, attitude to work, level of help and training
Pool table and Gym
General Operative, Goods In Support (Former Employee) – Donabate – 10 September 2019
The in house training is good for someone with no experience. Lots of opportunity to get different jobs within the warehouse itself, eg loading trailer moving merchandising units
Pros
Gym
Cons
Very strict and sometimes unrealistic targets
Enjoyable and Helpful
Sales Assistant (Former Employee) – Monaghan – 8 September 2019
I worked in Tesco for my 4th Year work experience. My day at work consisted of unpacking the goods that were delivered to the shop and placing them on the shelf's. It was an enjoyable time as I had time to talk with the people at the workplace. If I didn't know were a product went, the workers were so helpful and did mind the help then "new guy". The atmosphere was great. Mostly I enjoyed interacting with the other workers and helping out the customers with product they needed to find as after a few days of work I knew were everything was.
Pros
Long breaks and great food at the canteen
Cons
Hard work as its a large store
Disengaging and Negative Workplace
Sales Assistant (Former Employee) – Dublin – 5 September 2019
This particular workplace was particularly stressful as shift allocation was never allocated as promised and availability was never considered and made at employees inconvenience
Pros
Early finishes
Cons
Little consideration for employees
Not a nice place to work.
Sales Assistant (Current Employee) – Waterford – 5 September 2019
Would not recommend this company. Not a nice place to work. They say they care about their employees but they don't. People have worked in this company for majority of their working life and they get treated like dirt.
Awful
Home delivery (Former Employee) – Galway – 26 August 2019
The job itself is fine however the manager of the drivers has never done a days driving in her life and therefor has frightening unreal expectations.
Turn over is high, because after 3 months hours are cut n drivers randomly let go (Unless you are the old staff before her management)

Good place to work
Team Leader (Current Employee) – Ballinasloe, County Galway – 16 August 2019
Have worked in tescos for 3 years and it has been a great experience. I have advanced from a general operate to a team leader. Management are easy to get along with and are always ready to listen
Pros
Privilege card
Cons
Working until 11pm and most weekends
Awful
Customer Assistant (Former Employee) – Waterford – 16 August 2019
Management on your back every minute. Staff morale low. Staff vending machines broken for years. You're just a number in the end. Never ring in sick as they want every detail from you and they scrutinise your answer. Sick 2 days in a year and half and they had to put me on review for disciplinary action if it happened again. Best place to work? No they do a survey every year basically forcing what answers to use as they post them up around the back store. Wages for your effort are not worth it. Some managers one in particular is not the sharpest knife in the drawer asking his staff for advice and cursing about the customer when gone. Avoid
Pros
It's a job
Cons
Save yourself the hassle
Hopefully I will not be here too much longer
Customer Assistant (Current Employee) – Cork – 28 July 2019
The managers are genuinely incompetent, some baffle me as to how they are in a job that deals with customers. I really hope that I am not working there by September
Pros
Workers are really nice
Cons
Management are terrible
