A precarious balance...

Pros

Some great colleagues. Some good leadership, mostly. A safe environment, and lots out there to protect the colleagues. Knowing I'm working in such a competitive and competent store is great too. Many, MANY opportunities to further your career and education within work.

Cons

Too many managers who seem to proactively do very little, aside from lurk and berate. I must point out that some supervisors are brilliant, helpful and have a great attitude though! A lot of stupid policies; Queue clarity, combined with an ever growing number of self-scans and Hybrids, leaves us having to drag customers against their will to the Self-Scans to keep Queue Clarity at 100%, and I for one don't like playing a part in 'The Experience that put customer X off shopping from Asda ever again'.

Pros

I am a very shy person, the one thing I do cherish that I have taken away from Asda is a built in my confidence. Others are usually very nice tome and help me out when I appear stuck. I have spoke and met people I would never have spoke to before aswell. Everyone works well together. I got the hours which suited my personal life // flexiable

Cons

I can be disheartened very easily and I find that customers can be cruel at times. This can really upset me hugely. Some other colleagues can be hurtful and look down on me. I was changed departments without being asked or consulted, I was simply told and I am not happy with my new hours.
