The Tesco thread.

Can anyone help!? I applied for two roles at Tesco last Tuesday(April the 26th) which was the closing date. On the careers section it still says application in progress.. any idea of when I will find out if I have or havent got it, like will they call me or?

I got a call like 2 weeks after the closing date for an interview, I know people who have waited like a month then they get a call

hi guys, if you cash in your bonus will this be going in the next pay??

Hi Ellen Jane!

When you had an interview what questions did you get asked and how did the group team building tasks go? What did they consist of?

Just stumbled upon this topic - I work at Tesco as a Customer Assistant, but I'm leaving next week (I've got one shift left!) because I'm going travelling, and then to Uni. But I'm happy to answer anybody's questions about life as a CA in an Express store.

My rate is £7.24 and £10.24 on Sundays and bank holidays. I work 17.15 hours per week and mostly work evenings and afternoons, although I take morning overtime shifts a lot too. I've worked in two customer service jobs in my life, and out of the two (one cafe, one Tesco) I prefer Tesco, although it can get slightly boring at times.

Generally the people I work with are really lovely, although as a CA still in her teens I have been spoken down to on occasion by supervisors and step-ups (but this is rare). Just be kind and courteous to everyone and you should get along fine with the team.

Customers can get really annoying sometimes, but when you're in a good mood, it's easier to overlook this. The majority of people are fine, it's just the bad customers stick out in people's memories. If you make the effort to have a chat and compliment people you bring out the best in them. I have met some really lovely customers and some really not-so-lovely ones while at Tesco, but generally, if you have a kind and helpful attitude, people aren't so bad. (Though we all have our bad days, and I totally get it if you don't feel like fake-smiling 24/7).

It's going to be sad leaving, as it's not such a bad job really, perfect for someone like me who's on a gap year and needs something to keep her occupied. The pay and holidays are good too, but I've never been more than a CA so I can't speak for people higher-up.

Hey all, current stock controller doing the potentials, don't like my store as there's too many managers with conflicting opinions. My line manager is useless as I can count the times I've spoken to her on one hand.

On the our Tesco website I see a Checkout team support position in a different store. It's a much longer commute than my current job, and it's the same hours. I'm wondering how much checkout team support get paid, the area is Northern Ireland if you're wondering.

Can any current checkout team support colleague tell me, how stressful/hard is the job? and how much do you get paid per hour?

EDIT: Can you also include information on Sunday pay, as it has 5 hours on a Sunday.
Much appreciated.

Do you know how much night shift workers get per hour? And is the interview and application process hard?

Thanks
