Pros

Good town centre location in Leeds

Cons

I was made redundant from ASDA last year, with the driving factor being my part time 3 day a week contract after returning to work after maternity leave. The company handled the whole process terribly,and even after over 10 years at the company, where I had some good times, after the way they treated me, I would not recommend working at ASDA to anyone. Maybe this is why they are doing so badly at the moment!

Pros

You are able to work as many hours as you can. Allows full flexibility, so especially good if you are a student, or, if you have no ambitions.

Cons

An extremely dead end job. There's is nothing more absurd than waking up early in the morning, walking to your wardrobe, then noticing that fluorescent green shirt staring back at you.

there are no pros in this company, the only reason i gave 1 star is because there wasn't an option for 0 stars.

Cons
