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!
