Pros

the people you work with you make a great connection and have a good laugh which makes it a joy to go to work, it helps develop new friendships and relationships inside and outside of work.

Cons

when one employee leaves they dont replace and the workload then gets split between those that are left but then thats gets too much for one employee driving them to leave and once again the workload is then again split between those that are left which then causes high stress , tiredness and feelings of resentment between friends which then causes more arguements and drop in work morale.

Pros

Asda cockhedge Warrington is a welcoming diversely employed working environment that is like a family the support and growth of its colleague base is second to none the coaching within store gives everyone a chance to improve and grow there skills and we are all encouraged to aim high and are helped on by section leaders and mangers who show care and belief in its work force I worked at this store 9 years ago and returned last year and was welcomed and made to feel valued and important part of a team

Cons

As in any retail environment there is always a need for more staff as customers are becoming more demanding of high customer service and volumes of customers in a supermarket is high so there is always a need for more staff to assist the rise in customer numbers
