Pros

Simple work. Mostly nice people to work with and training is sufficient but not excellent. Simple enough recruitment process. Need to be better informed about taking right to work documents to first session. Quite good benefits if used like law club and simply health. DISCOUNT CARD!

Cons

Low pay. Working conditions not conducive to a happy workplace. Can be quite physical without much brainpower needed. Equipment and facilities tend to be poor in order to save costs. For example: shoddy delivery vans. No staff canteen apart from breakfast

Pros

Asda is a value driven retailer, and unlike some others I have worked for - who claim to be about Value for Money - Asda really invests heavily in both it's prices and it's quality

Cons

There can be a lot of pressure on delivering your numbers. If this is something that would worry you, I would not recommend Asda

Pros

10 percent discount after 3 months apart from that nothing! Seriously! Pay is rubbish for the amount of work thwy expect. even customers are picking up on the shocking quality of food items

Cons

Alot! Benifits dont really benifit the normal collegues, they guilt trip you into working shifts but refuse to do simple favours. pay is a joke! Lowest out of all tlhe supermarkets! progression is non existant unless your sleeping with a manager. And understaffed so you end up doing 3x the work for the same pay! My advice to anyone, is leave! Dont look back. The dole would be a better option
