Pros

10% discount, Good opportunities to develop your career should you wish to move up in the ranks within the store.Training is good. Overall, you get to work with a diverse range of colleagues from all different walks of life - fro students, to full-timers, mothers, grandmothers, and those who want to supplement their income.

Cons

The new management system means that more and more managers are off the shop floor and in their offices. ASDA have replaced a few managers with "Section Leaders" - a scheme which has good intentions, but I'm not sure it's 100% just yet. Give it some time, perhaps.

Pros

Not many, Keeps you busy - if you like managing a high paced / high flow business on a skeleton crew of colleagues you will like it here. If you like doing all the work yourself instead of managing people (As you have no people)you will like it here. If you like following processes that don't work and are dreamed up by people who don't work in stores you will like it here. To sum up if you like an almost impossible challenge to deliver your role and your shop this is great for you.

Cons

Senior Management out of touch with the shopfloor.. Career progression not about ability very political. Appraisals aren't worth the paper they are written on and that's if you are lucky enough to get one The company does not live its own values. No Team work your peers and seniors happy to stab you in the back. Not enough hours in the business to deliver the standards. No leadership, No Trust and No motivation.
