It was all shite lol. I can agree with that. I work for Tesco now, I've been there a year and Ive done non-food, checkouts, grocery, wines and spirits, chillers, tesco express. The lot. I would say non food was probably the best place I worked. Im on £6 an hr now I have my yrs service. I couldnt rlly care less tho becoz im just doin it as a student- part time. ANd I hate customers:grump:
Think I got about £5.50/hour which was ok.
Benefits were minimal but for the summer it was good money.
Mind numbingly boring and the customers look down their fucking noses at you until they realise you can actually pronouce paella and mozzarelly di buffala and tell them that squeezing a mango to check for freshness is just moronic.
Benefits are pretty shit considering the size of the company I got 10% discount after working there for a year but only when you spent over £3. I also got shares after working there for 2 years. The shares are given out in April so by the time I'd got them it had been 2 1/2 years (I started in the October). I finished in the December and because I'dheld my shares for less than a year they took them off me.
Managers were crap as well, I worked in two different stores and the managers in both stores loved the power and a lot of them liked stirring, the worst ones where the ones from were moved from checkouts to manager duties.
Hourly rate of pay? £6.01
Fringe benefits/staff discount? what's a fringe benefit?! yeh i get 10% staff discount.
Impression of the company? good but it's declining the longer i'm there...
Staffing structure?(manager, supervisor, general manager etc.) ??
eta: i've been there 4 years and 8 months (part time!!).
There is a brand new Tesco being built local to me so i'm thinking that if i can get in early then I can have a choice of potential higher job prospects than i've currently got @ the moment.
Fringe benefit = any of various benefits, as free life or health insurance, paid holidays, a pension, etc., received by an employee in addition to regular pay.
Like store manager>general managers>department managers>supervisors etc
yeh i know but what about it?!
or am i being dense?
it really depends what the individual branch you work in is like.
What structure does Tesco follow.
When Safeway converted to Morrisons the structure changed.
manager/deputy manager
section manager
team leader
only ones i can think of
Store Manager ->
Section Manager (Fresh, ambient, etc. - they get little store phones) ->
Department manager (Deli, Produce, Dairy, etc.) ->
General monkeys ->
Customers (:D)
That said, there were a load of people who thought that because they had been there 30 years, we should treat them with respect rather than pity and that they were somehow senior owing to their service there though they weren't any different from the students just doing it for the summer.
Our store manager and section managers were all complete twats. However, our department managers especially mine and the dairy one when I was on produce were quality.
