Barnstaple, England (UK)

Former Employee – worked at Tesco part-time for more than a year

ProsMost of the people I worked with were nice people and I considered friends. The benefits are brilliant and the work and life balance is also very good. You are not stuck there every day of the week.

Cons80% of the department managers hired by the company could do with better training. The whole organisation of the company is also fairly poor.
