Glassdoor Review for ASDA.

Chilled day colleague

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Friendly atmosphere, good overtime availability and the majority of the section leaders are respectable and very helpful on every shift. Ability to train up on a variety of departments to increase skills and chances of overtime. They are flexible when you are creating your contract. As I am also a student they take this into consideration and have built my shifts around this.

Cons

Queue clarity and general checkout atmosphere is awful and does nothing for shop floor maintenance. A repetitive job role but there isn't a lot more to my current role. One fixed wage unless it is a bank holiday. No overtime increase or Sunday pay. In fact, overtime is expected of you regardless of whether you are on a full or part time contract as they know nobody can live off the current ASDA wage comfortable. You are also rarely expected to get a contract over 25 hours.

Pros

In the warehouse, money is very very good. Managers are mostly nice and approachable.

Cons

An unfair distribution of work. Half the colleagues pull the other half by working harder than they should whilst getting paid the same.

The colleagues run the stores and are left alone as long as things run ok

Checkout operator

Business Outlook

Pros

We get 10% discount off everything except cigarettes petrol and lottery and its a great help towards Christmas if you save that discount, it can give you as much as £600 or more + bonus money if you put discount straight on to savings card. I get 5 weeks holiday a year Christmas shopping day off and my hours suit my lifestyle.

Cons

Asda have a lot of policies Bullying racism etc but there is a lot of favouritism especially with overtime if your face fits your fine if it doesn't you wont get as much as others and I blame managers for this because they know it goes on and do nothing about it. It is a big problem because I have friends in other stores who say they have same problem.
