ASDA STORES LTD Employer Reviews

There is always something new that faces you in any one day at Asda. Working with and around the general public means you deal with many different people in many different situations.

Each day when I went to work I was greeted by fellow colleagues, I had to find the manager and she told me what my duties for the day were. It was clearly told and I was able to do the job comfortably. The manager was quite organised until the busy period of Christmas and boxing day.

The hardest part was when I had important duties to fulfil I was – more... approached by many customers and it was quite difficult to attend to everyone's needs but I put customers as number one priority and dealt with customers enquiries first. Even though it was a bit hectic but I managed quite well and customers were satisfied.

The most enjoyable part of this job was being able to interact with customers and attending their needs and requirements and when they felt satisfied it made me feel satisfied that I did a good job with their enquiries.

I learnt a lot about customer service, how to perform a good customer service and why it is important. Also it helped grow my confidence in dealing with different people and different tasks. I learnt how the department is ran, what are the key tasks to ensure it runs smoothly and the process of stocking and selling products. – less

Asda is really good company to work for, I have learnt a lot working there the past year. I am really good with talking to customers and dealing with complaints and queries now. The management is probably just like anywhere else, it has its pros and cons. The hardest part of my job would definitely be the long hours every day. At Asda you don't really – more... have set hours and that can sometimes be quite difficult. The parts about my job that i do enjoy would be, seeing the customers daily and having conversations with them about their day, and also the co-workers because we all get along so well and help each other out, that definitely keeps you going. – less

My most recent role as a team leader within the clerical/operations department required sound PC skills, an in depth knowledge of the depot computer system (GDS), and detailed knowledge of all stock control, warehouse and office procedures. Use a practical, pro-active and common sense approach to problem solving, supervise clerks, give and receive detailed – more... handovers, give advice to warehouse team members on system and hardware issues when necessary, facilitating the smooth running of a productive shift between the warehouse and stock control functions. Be able to multi task and prioritise well in a busy office environment, a busy warehouse environment and in different temperature zones has been an essential part of my working life thus far. Being able to carry out physical warehouse duties using the appropriate machinery or hardware has also always been a basic requirement. I have a sound knowledge of office practices have used a variety of IT based tools to tackle and report on system/hardware issues and to create statistical and numerical reports on a daily basis. These include excel, word, outlook and other databases. The most enjoyable part for myself was the problem solving and using my own knowledge and experience to investigate and resolve all manner of issues, the hardest part in a busy office is paying attention to the detail whilst multi tasking and monitoring the bigger picture at the same time. – less

I have learned a lot in my experience at Asda, with it being my first job. Skills such as teamwork and stock taking, along with all the generic skills that come with working in retail.

Taking forms of payment accurately giving change , dealing with vouchers, coupons etc in the correct manner and assisting – more... with any quiries, It is very people based so you have to work well with people and have a good personality . – less

carrefour ( asda ) is a brilliant company to work for ,worked there for many years,but left to have a baby,who is now 16, and would like to go back to work now., i learnt a great deal when working for carrefour ( asda),managers,staff, and customers were so easy to get along with.

Managing the “Home and Leisure” department.
Replenishment, of new and existing products.
Stock control, monitoring levels of product on display and replacing when necessary
Creating and maintaining, consumer appealing product displays.
Providing technical product information for customers.

During my time at ASDA as a shop floor assistant I have learnt several things, firstly the job role and staff has aided my confidence massively and allowing myself to feel confident when working with a highly demanding working environment, I have not only learnt both team working skills and team leadership skills, but how to share job roles between – more... colleagues to achieve the most effective results.

A general day in work would involve several different jobs including top stock clearing (including investigating overs), gap filling, moving large pallet goods, general tidying and cleaning, ensuring delivery is stored correctly, check out operator and point-of-sale work.

Although I have not experienced a team leader role, a normal day would enable me to share out the job roles to the remaining colleagues when there was no management present.

The most enjoyable part of the job of the job was working with some amazing people of all ages and experiencing total synergy when all colleagues are working at full volume. The hardest part of the job was how highly selective it was when it come to advancement. – less

DECENT PLACE TO WORK, FOR NON-MANAGEMENT TO SHIFTS CAN BE ADAPTED TO SUIT YOUR NEEDS. THE COLLEAGUES ARE NICE TO WORK WITH AND NO 2 DAYS ARE THE SAME.

It was a hard job with not much benefits or appreciation for staff, not alot of staff to go around, so was a few people doing alot of jobs.
Not a place I enjoyed or would like to go back to.
