ASDA reviews

The pay's great for night shift workers but you earn your keep! Its a tough shift and turnover is high, many thinking its an opportunity to sit down at a till in an almost deserted superstore for 8+ hours, reality quickly sets in (its a replen job, getting the shelves full working delivery pushing to clear stock out of the warehouse, its non-stop from the time you start until shift end) and its not for everyone. No slackers! It can be a monotonous job, very process orientated, you will feel like a bit of lacky. Its not glamorous The pay for "normal shift" (days) is a little over the minimum, not bad at all but nothing amazing. I've had the good fortune of having great managers, they're very personable, approachable and empathetic to their team. This will differ from store to store obviously and there are some insufferable managers I've heard though.

Management is schizophrenic to say the least, constant changes in sale and seasonal product placement. Lack of communication between departments, repeated overspending on wages which is indicative of poor budgeting, hence the store is often understaffed. There is a general air of contempt among the managers for shopfloor colleagues, a lack of responsibility and an unprofessional blame culture in the workplace. Personnel are all but impossible to reach for most of the working day, and uniform replacement is non-existent.
