Pros

Pride in your role, colleagues can be great, some area managers are great by giving fair and reasonable feedback, gained alot of experience whilst at the company, store manager is very fair and understanding.

Cons

seldom are you valued for all your efforts.. you are told "you need your days off too" but when you take your day off and a sick call happens it is immediately your fault. Its good to have responsibility but getting paid for the large amount of responsibility would be wonderful. Very much a 'if your face fits' environment. Extremely hard to dismiss colleagues. Managers rarely back you up even though this is in basic training

Pros

Flexible contracts for students and easy to transfer between stores. Good career progression opportunities. Asda stars good scheme if done properly. colleagues are really friendly.

Cons

Breaks differ between stores and aren't implemented correctly, e.g I often had 6 hours between my breaks. Checkout colleagues aren't allowed water with them which can cause health issues as their job is to talk constantly, and they don't have sufficient breaks especially when there is such a huge gap between breaks, and they can't just pop off the till to go to the canteen. Management have favourites who seem to get all the praise, this causes a lack of motivation for colleagues who perform well and go unrewarded and unnoticed.
