About the plant
Tesco's Postřižín distribution centre sits by the D8 motorway at junction 9, towards Kralupy nad Vltavou. The first phase, built between 2007 and March 2008, comprises a 39,300 m² dry warehouse and a 14,500 m² chilled warehouse, later extended.
It is the site in this catalogue with the widest shuttle network — free buses run from nine towns, some as far as the Ústí region, which tells you the plant recruits across a very large radius.
What it pays
Tesco publishes pay through job adverts and negotiates increases through a collective agreement. Employee reviews consistently note that competitors pay more.
