Pros

the people you work with, 9 times out of 10, are nice people that you can get along with :) most managers are legit, helpful and hardworking alongside their colleagues fairly flexible in regards to fitting around other jobs always something new to learn good opportunities to improve or try something new always lots of overtime

Cons

hypocrisy: managers and policy breaking. they can, you cant. for no good reasons either. policies are there to protect you, but only when it suits the managers rota's get changed without your knowledge, you will only know if you check. if you are like me, and cant work any overtime, then this is a problem. lockers get broken into fairly often

Pros

10% discount. Pays more than minimum wage. Opportunity to enter 'Asda Football League.' Was able to work within various departments.

Cons

Felt like wasn't offered promotion options or met my full potential within the company. Was put on 'bought in bread and cakes' without sufficient training or time allowance considering my small build and size.
