Pros
-Very good breaks compared to most companies- guaranteed break for shifts of more than 4 hours and 90 mins break for 9+hrs shift -Friendly colleagues generally -Very good pay if you are a young person, as all customer assistants paid the same no matter the colleagues age- was earning double the minimum wage when I was working there at 17 -Very accommodating to students who are only back for holidays- extremely easy to come back and work as a 'retained student' -Job is most ideal for people (especially school leavers and students) to use as a stop gap
Cons
-Can be poor management on occasions, especially when it comes to organisation -Poor pay if not a young person, as the pay is not that much above the adult minimum wage -Colleague discount only 10% (more on payday weekends)- only really worth it if you buy a lot from Tesco -Can be quite a cliquey work environment, though this depends on the colleagues and the manager -Very low chances of progression from customer assistant to manager as there's a lot of shop floor staff and not many management positions, with new managers often coming straight from other stores and often being the most socially 'popular' staff
