Pros

Get to meet lots of people in a fairly laid back environment. No real stress involved in the job unless you work your way up.

Cons

Some of the managers were poor organisers meaning sometimes rotas weren't posted until the day before and booked holiday was forgotten.

Pros

- Can be pretty flexible, which is good if you're a student - Good atmosphere among colleagues - Decent wage if it's not your full-time job

Cons

- As I was leaving I noticed that due to cut-backs, staff that retired/left were not replaced meaning that often the store did not have enough colleagues - Having to be graded on customer friendliness by Asda's own mystery shopper. I always provided good service, but it's hard to be jolly after 7 hours into a 10 hour shift.

Pros

Asda are a great company in that you can fit your hours around your work/life balance and other commitments. Ten percent discount as a colleague, not to be sniffed at and the local employees are great.

Cons

Inept management at checkout level with a lack of appreciation for those at the customer interface. The senior managers are great but communication is difficult. The immediate line managers have little empathy with the needs of their staff
