      Poor Leadership

      General manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Fast paced and competitive environment with a previously great leadership model and beliefs.

      Cons

      Culture now changing into a Tell and Do environment rather than a Challenge and Involve team working ethic. I saw these changes taking place from 2010 to 2013. Where ASDA previously adopted a Servant Leadership Style within its Senior Team, getting things done with and through others WILLINGLY and WELL to now just GET IT DONE! Wages and productivity are continuously being squeezed and challenged to reduce prices, meaning more volume is being pumped into the shops with fewer hours to deliver a standards.

      Great for university flexibility, at a store level probably not a career

      Music, video & game colleague

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The best part of the job is definitely the other colleagues, especially when you're not on checkouts. The ability to progress and develop through opportunities without being a section leader. Colleagues can become part of the recruitment squad and other opportunities which is something different and spices work up a bit. Being verbally and physically rewarded if you do a good job. 10% Asda & Wal-mart discount. Supportive leadership, especially with applying for the grad scheme. Flexibility with hours if in education, ability to move stores for summer and Christmas breaks.

      Cons

      The colleague experience differs a lot from store to store, due to different management and different parts of people policies being enforced. Technology is lacking. Everything is second hand from Wal-Mart and it doesn't feel like there's any investment in trying to make colleagues jobs easier. If DVDs and CDs were tagged automatically at the depot then it'd enable MVG colleagues to focus on refill than tagging for hours on end. No way to search for stock/location, there are 400+ DVDs out in the charts alone - you can't answer customer enquiries efficiently. Location changes on telxons a few days before modular implementation so restocking can become hard. The photo kiosks take up a lot of colleague time, customers don't get the software. In my store the MVG and Photo Centre is joined so one colleague is doing what two colleagues would in another store. For retail the wage is quite high, but this wouldn't be an option for me after uni as it can't support you properly. The ability to print POS and Swap Sleeves at a store level would be amazing. The technology is there.
