Pros

The colleagues are all really nice people and i get along with them well. Good store in terms of value for money, promotions and a great choice of products.

Cons

The management are god awful. They don't have a clue what they are doing and are all trying to impress one another and those senior to themselves at the expense of the employees. They also seemingly just wander around aimlessly and don't do much, even when we are really busy they wont join in. My department (portering) is neglected greatly and we are always understaffed. Time off policies are bad and no sick pay is also not on.

Pros

Have worked for ASDA for 13 yrs, seen lots of changes, but enjoy every day. I've seen 6 G.S.M's come through the Store and each one has implemented some brilliant strategies for improvement.

Cons

I really dislike the total lack of respect for mature colleagues, instead of realising they are an important part of the team, they are often treated as if they are already suffering from Alzheimers disease . We have too many team leaders with very little life experience or "people skills "
