Asda Burnley review (don't even bother)

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I get to work with some fantastic colleagues, I pretty much got to choose my hours when I started but some new rules means I'm stuck with them now. (that's fine with me though) There are some good benefits but they won't tell you about any of them.

Cons

The managers are imcompitant, two faced and lazy. They have too much power and abuse the hell out of it. It's okay for them to take, not only several more than they're supposed to, but also stupidly long brakes but the moment you take 5 minutes extra you get a counselling for it! They don't tell you about any benefits. I didn't even know I got a floating day or that I had to sign out for my breaks so I've been losing money. Please don't take this as working at every Asda will be bad. I'm sure it's not just please, don't work at Asda Burnley, I promise you will regret it.
