Tesco reviews

My department is Grocery, which is essentially the biggest department in the store - all food and drink that isn't fresh. On Fridays and Saturdays there is an extra delivery which has to be worked (put on shelves) during the day, it is quite a hefty amount of stock to do when the store is so busy, around 25-35 roll cages full. Along with doing this which keeps you busy, you have plenty of customer queries to deal with and depending on whether you are multi-skilled or not you sometimes have to answer 'first class service' calls (much to your department managers annoyance) which means lending a hand on the checkouts during busy times. Getting 'multi-skilled' on the checkouts when you don't work on the checkout department is usually something you have to orchestrate yourself, I did it because there tends to be plenty of overtime opportunities on the checkouts as opposed to anywhere else, especially around Xmas. You do sometimes get till trained when you first start, it depends whether you work during busy times or not.
