Pros

High pay Decent work life balance Interesting job

Cons

Over the last several years we were working remotely and performing better with each year, This year the higher management decided to enforce 3 mandatory office days per week (previously 2, but not enforced). There are a lot of people that work from outside of Budapest but Tesco doesn't have any offices there. Why hire people from great distance and then force them to come into the office 3 times a week? They are constantly asking your opinion, yet don't care about it when you have a negative feedback. In fact, we were told to not give any negative feedback because higher management doesn't like it. Absolutely atrocious higher management.

Pros

Pay is ok, nice colleagues.

Cons

In express stores, extremely busy and long shift hours of 9 hours + with only 30 mins break. Even if you close at 11pm you are expected to work again at 6am?? Staff are given a large amount of stock every day and majority of the time it is hard to manage, as well as a large number of whoosh orders coming in everyday. Staff in express stores need a much larger wage for the amount of work you have to do (stacking whilst on till, tobacco, lottery, evri parcels, whoosh, cleaning etc). Mentally and physically draining.
