Pros

I worked at Asda for 20 years. I started as checkout operator in the evening, I did this for 6.5 years. I then went on to work on the jewellery counter which was the best job instore! I did that for another 6 years and when I got divorced I bought a house with in walking distance of Asda. For a few months I worked on the Kiosk but then the job in the pharmacy came up and I applied for it and got the job. This job ment doing 2 Buttercups course which I found very interesting and it prepared me to do my job well.

Cons

Working on a small department ment we were not always informed of things happening in store. There was not always enough staff on to attend huddles. Also we had to work extra when colleagues were on holiday or off sick. Not everyone was prepared to do their share.

Pros

The colleagues are fun to work with.

Cons

They dont care about the staff! Just purely money. They would sacrifice you and your hours to save a few pounds in wages (which they don't pay you properly anyway) without a second thought.

Generally alright!

Pros

The job itself is okay, nothing too hot about stacking shelves, making pizza and queue-busting. There's not one colleague there who I don't like working with. Fresh Manager's awesome. Generally looked after well.

Cons

We're no longer allowed to take lunch with people on the same department - yet all the management go for breakfast at 10am every morning. Our General Store Manager has no idea how the shop floor runs because she was a George manager. People can't be hired due to budgeting reasons. Staff's hours are being cut and holidays are forced to be taken due to overspending, but then they realise that there aren't enough colleagues so panic and have to spend money in overtime to get colleagues who aren't off to jump onto other departments.
