Tesco Picker/Packer reviews

One of the main downsides of the role is the pressure around pick rates. Managers can sometimes be overly focused on the numbers without always considering context. For example, if a customer asks for help, taking the time to assist them naturally slows you down, but that isn’t always recognised. Pick rates can also vary depending on the luck of the draw — some routes are compact and efficient, while others send you back and forth across the store, which can be tiring and frustrating. Another challenge is working during busy hours, when customers often view pickers and their large trolleys as an obstruction. You can expect to be huffed at or dodged around, even when you’re just trying to do your job. There’s also minimal variety in the tasks themselves, and shifts can feel repetitive, especially if you're doing the same thing day after day. While the independence is a pro, it can also mean the work feels a bit isolating at times, with little social interaction during your shift.

very very very good pay
