Pros

- The people who work in the store kept me going, with good humour even in bad circumstances. - Very good manager who had the give and take mentality which is not often seen nowadays, very flexible. - Very good experienced team working with me, kept me going even when I was doomed and gloomed on the place. - Learned a lot from experienced colleagues which have helped me in my new job. - Developed my management style within ASDA within their belief system, which is a very good system and catches all, even out of the retail sector.

Cons

- Hours were cut often and more work was expected to be done with a smaller team. - Home shopping and checkouts often took most of your colleagues to support, due to their lack of hours, all while expecting you to achieve the same results with less people. - Very poor career progression available beyond Section Leader level since ASDA restructured with less management positions. - It isn't the same company I joined, which had the ideals placed on the worker, now a worker is just a number who is easily replaced. - Never received a proper thank you for a job well done, only ever off my manager never higher up. However, higher management were quick enough to criticise you and your team if something had been done wrong. - Higher management listened to issues you raised, but the problems never get resolved.

Home shopping is a joke!

Pros

There are literally no pro's that I can think of with this company, they take advantage of their staff when other supermarkets pay considerably more for the same job!

Cons

Daily arguments with the home shopping manager Delivery routes that make no sense, given 10 minutes to make a 12 miles trip during Friday rush hour traffic. Clueless pickers that make stupid substitutions Customer ordered Bonjella and was sent Robinson's juice?! Yet as the delivery driver, you have to deal with it and take the flack from the customer. Vans that are not road worthy and management who pressure you to drive them. Fridges and Freezers full of mould that is usually left for months. Loaders that "consolidate" totes to fit more onto the van making totes too heavy and drivers getting injured. HR/Management losing accident books when claims are put in due to staff negligence.
