    Only bad thing I ever heard was their contracts can be hit and miss!

    I've worked for tesco for just over 2 years now & I'll tell you what, they treat you really well. As said above, the contracts are very hit and miss so be sure to ask them to fully explain it to you (or I can if you need it). Pay is good, but the main thing that can really ruin the job is your manager. You can have an absolutely amazing manager and adore the job, or you can have a rubbish one and hate it. Although, the job is obviously what you make of it rather than what you're told.

    I would definitely recommend it as a first job, but I would also advise you to have future plans. Hope this helps @King-Tom;

    @Jamez; Thanks for the response mate, yeah it's going to be a part time job just while I do my media studies course at college then maybe a little after that to, I think the pay is good and for a first job it's perfect to get a income. Just got to hope the manager I end up with (provided I even get in) is decent haha

    I'd imagine they're like every other supermarket employer, but typically if you're taking a job at tesco (in a low skill/paid position), it's not because you have a lot of choice.

    Like all supermarket jobs they're popular for part time with college uni etc.
    @Bolt660; didn't you work in Tesco for like 18 years

    Tbh, Tesco does pay better than most supermarkets, but yes it's definitely not where you want to be as a "career" if you can call it that.

    side note, martin worked in co-op

    What tempts me so much is the fact they do pay a bit more than others, even though i'll be in the 16 yrs wage it's still a decent amount while in college

    Tesco pays 16 year olds the same as 50 year olds, so everyone gets the same. But there is a 3-6 months "probation" period where you'll be on slightly less, but after that, your pay will match everyone elses.
