Both shopping and working at Asda are entirely dependent on the staff, whom were a mixed bag.

Pros

As with any large conglomeration, the rules are consistent throughout the other stores in which some friends work, holidays, holiday pay, monthly wage and breaks were all comfortably structured. The canteen was always quite alright to be in, and I had the opportunity to work alongside some genuinely lovely people.

Cons

Unfortunately there were other coworkers who had grown bitter with management and interacted somewhat miserably and spitefully toward staff and customers. There was a significant lack of listening to each other.

Pros

Colleague recruitment is fantastic - I worked with some great and committed people, who really wanted to see their job done right.

Cons

Managers seem to want to poke their noses in on everything. I was left to my own most of the time, trusted to organise the department as fit to increase sales, but every time a new manager came in I would have to go through the process of having the department reorganised by them, being blamed for a drop in sales, and working my backside off to get the department back the way it was before they arrived. Pointless shower.
