ASDA reviews

Managers seem to want to poke their noses in on everything. I was left to my own most of the time, trusted to organise the department as fit to increase sales, but every time a new manager came in I would have to go through the process of having the department reorganised by them, being blamed for a drop in sales, and working my backside off to get the department back the way it was before they arrived. Pointless shower.

As said in the title, my experiences varied greatly working for Asda depending on who my line manager was at the time. Some were very accommodating and allowed flexibility in your working days etc, others were very rigid. Taking holidays was a nightmare as you had to put in all 4 weeks of holidays at the start of the new year, with longer serving staff members getting "their" holidays every year. The overtime culture around christmas was also awful - with ALL staff expected to seriously increase the number of both hours and days that they worked, which as a part time member of staff meant essentially having to work full time when not always convenient or risk facing your manager to have a talk about you "letting down the team"
