- The pay is terrible and massively below the work expected of some.
- Most of the managers are incredibly cliquey and will treat you like something they've stepped in on the street unless you brown nose or are sleeping with them.
- A lot of managers and section leaders are young and have very little retail or people experience.
- Many of the older colleagues can get away with whatever they want as the aforementioned young managers are too afraid to discipline them.
- Our GSM, who joined our store 7 months ago, hasn't said a single word to me and many others.
- Equipment is woefully out of date and incredibly unreliable (across the entire store).
- Colleagues that leave are replaced after months rather than days or weeks, if at all.
- Because of this, departments are understaffed and the colleagues there are expected to pick up the slack.
- The store is always messy and dreadfully understocked.
- Most customers are fine, but there are more than enough who are downright rude and look down on you.
- Our canteen has recently changed to serve breakfast only with vending machines for the rest of the time, yet Asda wants colleagues to live a healthy lifestyle.
- The yearly "Your Voice" is routinely ignored by management.
- Management only care and make a real effort to help on the shop floor when there's a visit, because a bad visit could lead to a dressing down for them. If this effort was made for customers the store might offer a decent shopping experience and also make things less of a panic when there are visits.
