Pros

The majority of customers were amazing and lovely to talk to. The pay was reasonable.

Cons

Honestly, if you want to feel you are in mean girls work here! The staff cliques are incredibly gossipy and awkward, they dont seem to want to welcome newcomers. Some seniors are bullies and like to push you around, if you call for a senior, be prepared to not be shown or for them to deal with it nicely, prepare to be humiliated in front of the customers. Also, be prepared for the crap break times. Being a checkout operator can be extremely boring, but the staff make it miserable as none of them actually support you, they just laugh behind your back. The manager doesn't care, asks you to come in for shifts, constantly telling you which till you are on, to be wrong and the other staff member having no idea what you're talking about. Be prepared for the staff to laugh at you behind your back and make you feel isolated and lonely. It was so miserable being here, nobody cared, often been shot on jobs that you haven't been trained for or that nobody else wants to do.

Pros

Free food occasionally in the atrium. 20% off at Leon in canteen Issa brothers are really shaking things up, love that from them they seem like they have actual drive and talent

Cons

Managers are out for themselves, “HR” are there to protect the company, not the employees (as I found out after being SH’d). Lots of victim blaming. As for progression; you best be willing to put decades of your life into the job for below average salary and to be overworked if you want to progress, as well as spend you entire life shmoozing management. Progression is based on popularity, not actual work ethic. If you’re good at your job they’ll keep you there to avoid re training new starters. Google “Asda chant” on YouTube. When I started back in 2015 I loved it, left 3 months ago and didn’t realise until I left how small minded everyone there is- they hire specific types of people, people who will be loyal to the company without asking questions on what the actual benefits are to them (there are none). board full of men with small-man syndrome if you wanna work there best of luck
