Pros

Discount card after initial 12 week training, plus other discounts on certain holidays increased to 25% on certain holidays such as Christmas etc Overtime if you want it. Fantastic pay rates, min wage, but there's always scope to earn more in other departments. Fantastic training, and on going training, and an emphasis on education and promotion. Different contracts to suit your circumstance. Other benefits including, bonus scheme, share save, health care, and a competitive pension. A fantastic team to work with. Give you plenty of

Cons

Sometimes it's better to speculate than accumulate, hire more staff, sometimes we are working on a skeleton staff some nights. More huddles would be good. Sometimes there's not enough equipment to work with, such as trolleys, flat beds etc perhaps order more?

Pros

Outdoors away from The management and Miserable transport office colleagues

Cons

Runs are fixed if you look Young and willing you will get stitched with the biggest loads , no breaks as you will be racing against time to finish a 4 hour shift is worse than the 6.5 hour as ASDA compact the smaller runs with the same amount of drops as 6-8 hour

Pros

Some excellent colleagues that really do deserve better than ASDA. Also some that don't. I can see how the 10% discount on groceries can help out a family being paid minimum wage.

Cons

All the huddles, magazines and fancy noticeboards in the world cannot hide that ASDA pays as little as it can get away with. All its competitors pay more, some quite significantly yet ASDA continues to under perform financially - and its a downward trend. Any correlation? Behind the cheery family facade there is low morale. To make a decent wage significantly more hours than contracted need to be worked. This is what ASDA rely on, people desperate for more hours that say yes at the expense of their work life balance. The work culture dictates that if you say no sometimes then other requests may be viewed unfavourably. Take that as you will. Poor holiday entitlement, no opportunity for rostered weekends off. Would a shift system really be that difficult? Lots of staff on different contracts doing same job. The cynical side of me thinks the only reason they give 10% discount is because ASDA want the money back they begrudgingly paid you in wages.
