ASDA Reviews

Cons

Non really decent money and hour

Cons

They reward bullying behaviour, even from customers. Don't back up colleagues in this situation or when doing challenge 25. Very clique-y. Most managers and section leaders don't listen or care. Take advantage of your flexibility. Try to get you to work when you are ill or injured and make you feel bad for being off. Refusing holidays then giving the same day to someone else.

Cons

Extremely poor management of business, zero training on anything, if they do train you they just show a “video” to cover themselves… management swear & shout at employees all the time, bullying toxic work environment, little to no thanks at all for hard work, section leaders stand clapping hands shouting (and swearing) at colleagues to work faster whilst doing nothing, double standards by managers over everything, shop is always a mess, no handovers, colleagues disciplined over thing’s management do all the time, management have no clue of their own company policy at all, rude obnoxious senior management, management will walk past you like you don’t exist! (Happened daily for 8 years) no help at all, they forge info on feedback to make themselves look good, corruption is rife within this company. If I could give zero stars I would. Ageist company, only interested in employing students or young people they can “mould” to the Asda way (I got told that by a manager) problem is the younger people don’t take the abuse & just walk out after a week or so !!

Cons

I met some of the worst of humanity in that store. Constant anger, constant entitlement. Customers think you're worse than dirt for daring to work there, and regard you with real suspicion. Not only that, the upper management were tyrannical, and used to scream at the line managers infront of staff. One lady used to wait till it got quiet to berate people for standing around....at the self service tills. There was a lot of micromanaging and unreasonable expectations. The head office had no idea how the shop ran, which is embarrassing. They never hired enough staff so there were never enough tills open. They expected us to guard the 30p bags in a way that made customers irate and just felt cruel in a cost of living crisis. The security boss made scan and go checks near constant, which was time consuming and unnecessary, especially as the technology is outdated and buggy. I can't speak for all stores but I think these are pretty common problems.

Cons

-Rotas inconsistent, not always 4 on 4 off. -Always expected to achieve the unachievable due to not enough staff, your expected to accept deliveries, manage the night team, sort the rubbish out, leave a tidy shop, land promotions/briefs using night reasource and put all the overstocks into a full, untidy warehouse with little to no room between 10pm & 8am! The store/business is a very negative and hostile environment, you will never get a well done/thank you just a why wasn't this done!

Cons

For the past 18 months less staff are to do more. Constant cut backs, work load increasing to cover staff that leave and aren’t replaced. Pick speed put up substantially

Cons

The new owners are terrible, staff morale at an all tiem low. The bonus has been removed, every time the company gives you something, they take something else away. Union protection by the GMB is non-existant, so ASDA do whatever they want. Incredibly shortstaffed, no help from some managers and has become a very negative place to work. Avoid, avoid, avoid...there is other jobs out there

Cons

Demanding. Everything is based on targets and as a result, the staff put so much pressure on you. Theres only 30 minutes break for a long shift. The staff room was cold and miserable

Cons

Problems with machines, no care for colleagues, no care for colleague opinions on trying to make the store better, bullying from managers, managers don't follow policies unless it is in their favour, managers don't stick up for colleagues in difficult situations with customers, useless tactics for customers are pushed such as using self checkouts when customers dont want to, dont get proper training, dont get proper cleaning equipment, the colleague equipment is either broken or missing, zero benefits and don't get bonuses either.

Cons

Hard work and long shifts
