Pros

It really does feel like a team, those on the shop floor make working fun, we have a laugh and we all build up relationships with the customers. It doesn't matter what department you are on, everyone is friendly and will help you out. It's like a big family

Cons

The management don't understand our job roles. They pile jobs on you constantly without thinking of the other 100 jobs on your list, then complain when jobs are missed. Asda is bout the customer so I put serving my customer first, however when my other jobs aren't done I'm expected to work long hours. Also working time directive has no meaning in the asda world!

Bad Company That Uses You - Beware!

Pros

Staff discount off shopping only thing decent.

Cons

Started a Seasonal Temp 16 hours.Which meant 52 hours over Xmas totally spoiled my Xmas! Team Leaders bullied you into working what suited them. They kept ringing me to come in on my days off and threatened you with your job when you couldn't come in. When I finished my shift they wanted to keep you working with no notice! The company use you to get what they want and don't care about you at all. Very different to what they say at the induction.I did get a 8 hour contract for a Saturday after Xmas ( big deal as all they wanted was tons of hours from you over Xmas) I lasted 3 months then they decided to just put me in 5 hours on a Saturday and 3 hours on a Sunday. How to spoil your weekend! I hated it as they just messed you around none stop! I hated it so i left and got another job...a job that respects me..very happy now.
