There isn't any. It's a job?
Minpunten
Pay isn't great. Leadership/management. Just not the right people in charge. They employ and promote family members foremost. Almost everyone in an asda store is related to someone. So there's people not getting jobs after a perfect interview and people getting jobs that have no work ethic. Rotas are done the day before the new week and you're expected to adhere to this. No career progression. They have restructured management letting go 50% of department managers across all stores and hiring a lot more team leaders to work crazy hours for hardly anything more than an average colleague. They promoted people to these roles through favouritism and the easier ones to mould or manipulate (with no chance of progression you wouldn't work 50+hours a week for 70p more, nobody would). They expect you to work to the point you are sweating and pay you buttons for it. They don't allow you study leave like they used to or career breaks. They monitor a lot on camera now. Don't know if they have been asked to do this. Management cover for one another. They monitor your breaks when they have no reason to then take excessive breaks and extra breaks. I've seen good colleagues who are hard working being squeezed out the door. The values of the company that were presented to me when I initially started are completely non-existent. As they have cut back you are forced to do jobs you weren't hired to do. If you don't comply you are presented with an ultimatum. They used to give you incentive to carry out your job to a high standard with gift vouchers etc. however they have stopped this. You get 10% discount which isn't great and a double discount day however on double discount day there is less discounted items than any other time of the year. The company have made changes to staff on a mass scale, in a short period of time - which should have never been done internally. The speed in which the changes have taken place has been the main issue. The main reason asda has done well is it's relationship with the customers. Colleagues who are unhappy will find it hard to maintain this. You've dug your own grave. This has been since late 2014. I used to enjoy working for Asda and now I loathe every day I go in to work.
