Pros

If you’re from the small town of Newtown you will fit in perfectly. Beware if you are a minority as you may be left emotionally scarred.

Cons

From a city in England came to work in Tesco's in Newtown which is a small town in wales. Since working there I’ve heard things that left me in dismay. racist comments about lorry drivers (he can't reverse the lorry because he's polish), Islamophobic (haven’t seen you in ages did you go and join ISIS, did you?) anti-Semitic (look there's the Jew). These are some of the few. Terrible I know. Reported an incident to the manager where a former college was racist towards me. The employee left the company without working his notice. So apparently, it’s out of Tesco’s hand and they can’t do anything about it. So, I was left racially abused but no option but to accept it. (maybe referring it to the police might have helped. A manager (who is very unprofessional) said that They spoke to the employee but not about that (there argument for that was that they can't talk about something that has happened whilst the person who was racist is shopping at Tesco because that’s business and it wouldn't be right if he's coming in as a customer . This was said to me on one of the meetings to discuss the racial abuse allegation.
