Fast paced.
Every day it's busy, I learned work experience. The management is okay, the culture is always fast-paced and stressful. It's hard to work in the fridge. I enjoy interacting with customers.
Not good
Don’t mean to be offensive but if your Irish would highly recommend avoiding as a lot of the staff are foreign and would make you feel uncomfortable as they won’t speak English around you even though they are capable , extremely rude especially the girls in health and beauty , confidence knocker job
It was somewhat productive.
The mornings were very slow paced. Afternoon and around pm it got quite fast paced. Management wasn't great. Salary is normal. average. Nothing hard about the job.
A good wage, bad job.
Low staff morale, management do not care about staff. Work life balance is not important to Tesco. Good wage starting and does rise, there is opportunities to progress
Not enough hours
Hourly rate is higher for delivery drivers than regular "colleagues" but the hours aren't regular or sufficient, shift can change from day to day and it's rare to get two days off together. Colleagues are mostly pleasant and helpful.
Delivery driver Tesco
Driving for home delivery. Delivery runs planned but no enough time to get deliveries done on time always late returning to base resulting in delays for next driver. No real management with any cop on in delivery department a case of just do the job and don’t come back with any orders not delivered. I was based in Finglas and they were allowing me 20 minutes to get to Dundrum at 9 in the morning. Could not wait to leave. New guys always get late weekend and late shifts. Couldn’t wait to leave.
Productive workplace.
A very busy environment that was helped by such brilliant and helpful staff. I really enjoyed my time there. It was a fast paced environment and it really was rewarding.
Great place to work
Do as your asked to the best of your ability and you'll be fine. Management are very fair. Full training and induction at start. Fast paced so learn quickly
Pros
Excellent pay and benefits
Cons
Late nights. Early morning
Entreprise simple
Entreprise simple mais sans réelle possibilités d'évolution de carrière.
Shocking
Worked here for years and nothing ever changed, management never took anyone's advice into consideration. Rosters are monthly so was handy for plans in the future. Turnover of staff was shocking,new people every few weeks and people leaving every few weeks. Breaks are an hour and 15 minutes which was good. No matter how busy you were, most of the time you will be called to checkouts or else checkouts onto the floor even though that is not your assigned section. Won't miss working here at all.
False promises
Told probation not passed when it was clear they inky hired people to cover over xmas. Long term staff confirmed it and said they've been getting away with it for decades.

Tesco is an excellent company to work for who is a great stepping stone for progression , talent spotting. The benefits however are not great and the payment for the hard work is undervalued
OK place to work
Most enjoyable thing about my work was meeting different people. Expected to do to much at times as there wasn't enough staff. You learn to do different things depending on what department your in
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.
Pros
10% discount after 6 months.
Cons
Pay. Staff. Management.
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.

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.
