My whole career at Tesco has been connected to buying and products. I started as a buyer of kids’ clothes and since that time I’ve been moving in my career through different positions I’ve been working in our clothes department for 10 years and cooperated with our F&F team in UK, which was a great experience. My current job is connected to our own brand – I’m looking after development of our Tesco own brand products.

Tesco gave me an opportunity to develop myself and grow. Thanks to that I’ve been learning something new every day. Thanks to my job I could travel a lot and meet different people and cultures. What I like the most, is to see the results of my job directly in our stores. And if I can see that customers like it and buy it, it’s the best appreciation.

Tesco gives an opportunity to people from different spheres and with different backgrounds, thanks to the variety of the jobs. You’ll work in a friendly atmosphere and with great people around, and you’ll surely meet the new friends here.

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.

After graduation at university, I started in our accounting team in Brno as a Financial analyst. After 2 years I got an offer in our Prague office and moved there. Since that time, I’ve gone through different managerial roles and together with my teams we’ve been cooperating with many departments across company. Some of the roles were closer to business and customer, others more about core Finance agenda and expertise. Why I like Tesco? It’s simple – great opportunities for development and career growth across all departments, flexibility and home office and supporting initiatives connected to social responsibility, community and charity.

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.
