Pros

The only redeeming features of working for ASDA include its average wages as well as a very useful 10% discount card. The sharesave scheme is also fairly okay although complicated and confusing.

Cons

The first challenge is getting past the disorganisation, perpetuated by the bad management. Managers do not seem to work hard at all, instead preferring to sit in the cafe and delegate tasks. Cuts have wracked the shop, leaving areas under-staffed and inefficient. Nepotism and favoritism is rife - hard working colleagues are completely overlooked for promotion in favour of colleagues to prefer to gossip and make friends with the managers. Managers themselves are condescending and disrespectful. The working environment is poor. Working your way upwards if you have been put on a certain section of the store, for example porting, is essentially impossible, leading many people to leave after a while. Paperwork is almost never done, and you will be frequently berated for not turning up to shifts you were never told you were working. Shifts are too long, resulting in boredom.
