Category: People of Store

Working in a store has become a part of my life. I have been working in the store for 40 years and all the time I have been actively working with customers, working at the cash register and putting my whole personality into my work. Every day with customers gives me energy and the desire to live. Even though I am retired, I am happy and proud that I still have a chance and an opportunity to do what fills me all my life.

I’m a driver of a Tesco car and I deliver the products to our customers’ home. This is my 3rd year at Tesco and I’m very happy here – the team is great, the job is nice, and we have a new car park. What I like the most in my job is that I can help people who can’t shop on their own. Tesco accommodates my shift needs so thanks to that I can easily balance the work with my family and hobbies. I play football so I train twice a week and we have a match every weekend, which requires a lot of time. But thanks to the flexibility in shifts I’m able to manage everything.

I joined Tesco after maternity. I live only 5 minutes from work and because of family I work mainly in the morning shifts. I’m working in hardline, which is my favourite department and I can use the creativity for arranging. When I open the new box, it’s like a gift and I’m always looking forward to the new products which arrived.

We’re a great team in my store which also our customers can feel. Sometimes we organize the activities all together, or just meet after the work.

I’ve been with Tesco for 12 years, my career path was an exemplary one. I started as a shop assistant, then buyer, then I was trained for a manager and now I’ve been working as a Store manager of Expres.

I’m very loyal, Tesco is a matter of heart for me, as they’ve supported me a lot already twice in my life. The first case was, when I was searching for a job as a mother of 5 kids. I’ve been rejected in every interview. At Tesco it wasn’t an issue for anyone. Tesco gave me a feeling of extraordinariness, that even after 5 kids I can make it. The second case was, when I had a car accident and Tesco was waiting for me and kept my role. It was a sign that I’m respected and appreciated. I would recommend Tesco to others, because everyone can be who they’re – regardless of gender, age, education or background.

I joined Tesco from a simple reason – I was searching for a job and Tesco is a good and solid employer in my eyes. I’m divorced and I’m having a small kid in my custody and Tesco accommodates my working time needs, so I can be with my daughter as much as I can. We’re a good team in my store. Our manager is nice, we organize many activities for our families or for customers. During the Christmas, we wear the costumes, customers really like it.

After I finished school, my schoolmate was an agreement worker at Tesco and he brought me here with him – I worked as a greengrocer that time. Tesco gives many opportunities for growth, so I took a chance and become firstly a shift leader, and now I’m a Shift manager. It’s a challenge, I’m now responsible for all colleagues and store in the shift. I’ve found many friends here, we do many activities together after working time.

I joined Tesco in 2007 in a graduate programme, where I spent one year in a training. After that I become a manager in different departments, which was a great experience. After few years I moved to Store manager role, and currently I’m responsible for all colleagues in one of our hypermarkets. I was lucky to be surrounded by great people in my career. Graduate programme was very intense, colleagues were experienced, and they dedicated time to me. Now I also try to invest to our newcomers and colleagues and focus on their development and growth. I’m proud that many of them I’ve trained, are now in managerial role or working in our Head office.

Tesco offers many different benefits, as 10% discount for all Tesco shoppings or Multisport card. But the biggest benefit is the great team and people.
