I started to work at Tesco in 2014, in the Graduate programme. The graduate programme gave me an opportunity to see all the areas where Tesco operates. After that I worked as a Fresh food manager in a few stores, I also moved to the Czech Republic where I launched the new operating model and I was also a Transition manager. After gaining all this experience I got an offer to become a Store manager. For a young Store manager like me, it’s of course demanding to manage the team where most of the members are older. But I’ve always tried to be honest to my team, to communicate openly, to be fair and to offer the same opportunities to all. And it works. I met my wife at Tesco and we’re having a little daughter. That’s why balancing my work with my private life is crucial.

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.

Next year I’ll be celebrating 20 years at Tesco. During this period of my life I’ve gone through the wide range of different roles, always connected to our stores and operation. I was a Store manager in few stores, Area manager, Project manager and now I’m responsible for operating all our hypermarkets. There are few main reasons why I like Tesco – endless career opportunities, innovative company, internal learning, working flexibility and teamwork. Retail is a fast business environment so my job is every day different which I really like. Together with my team, we try to prepare the best shopping experience for our customers.

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’ve gone through 9 roles during my 14-year-long career at Tesco until I took my current role which is Manager of the planning team in our Distribution center. With my team we prepare plans for CE countries and look for opportunities for improvements. What I like the most in my job is that I have a chance to change things and that Tesco is a big company which innovates something all the time. I would recommend Tesco as an employer, because there is a possibility to grow, it’s a stable company, there are endless opportunities for your career, to meet people and to see new things.

After graduation at university, I started in our accounting team in Brno where I went through few analytical roles. After 2,5 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 other departments in Finance related topics. In my current role, I’m responsible for managing sales and marketing costs. It’s an interesting combination of working with numbers and focusing on our customers and their shopping behavior. 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.
