ASDA reviews

Many of the roles are very high pressure to save money, hence the company benefits to compensate for mental health. There are some characters that have worked there for years that are known for bullyboy tactics and that is overlooked due to them being great at their job. In my 2 years there I saw many people crying due to the pressure and being spoke to quite badly, resulting in flurries of people leaving. You can be at the company years, absolutely brilliant at your iob, and meet all your targets, but if you don't put your face around and purposefully socialise with top management, promotions are denied. It's part of the "asda way".

Following enforcement of the new contract 6 in November 2019, Asda have now enforced a change to the job spec. Delivery drivers are now expected to load own vans - a job previously done very well and efficiently by experienced Service Crew. This is practically doubling the workload in one fell swoop. It's a physically demanding role without this. Failure to agree to the change will result in breach of contract apparently, and could lead to dismissal if you also refuse to accept another store role. Contract 6 has been dubbed the 'Martini' contract - Anytime, any place, anywhere - (70's tv ad apparently!) which means you'll be moved when it suits them. Google "Asda workers". If you're looking to drive for Asda and are prepared to do the physical loading on top of the actual delivery role then fine, it's just the enforcing of change on existing employees that is wrong. Holiday requests are turned down more often than you would imagine leading to resentment and unauthorized absences. Junior, store management ineffective where employees are concerned and are 'toeing the Company line' even where they know themselves it's unfair.
