my time at asda was very succsesfull i enjoyed every single day of the 2 weeks that i was there for.I was also asked to come back and apply at the age of 16, i am 16 now and i am trying to find a job vacancie,i was not expecting it to be trhis hard..

Excellent Co workers.
I learned that you have to treat every customer individually.
Most of the time management are involved.

A days work can range in dificulty depending on the day. During a weekend you can be expected to work very fast and multi-task various jobs but all within reason. I have learned most of my customer service skills here, daily sales figures and losses. Management take care of each colleague individually and I have always been treated with respect. They – more... have changed my contract readily when I have needed it (part-time at school, seasonal at university and full- time now). My co-workers have become my close friends and others that I dont know so well on other departments are generally always friendly. The hardest part of the job is maintaining the stock levels on busy days. The most enjoyable is working as part of the grocery team where we work hard together and have fun. – less

I think working was a real pleasure and it help me really to cope with the outside world. and know here I am looking for a job. so you know how it has helped me.

Not what the adverts picture it as. Undermanned and always stressful

good environment to work in really easy to learn the job and good advancement opportunities

I was told during the induction that there are four colleague pledges, two of them being opportunity and fairness. Although, now working at ASDA only a very select few have actually had the chance to progress. Not everyone was offered the chance to put their names forward as colleague representatives. The work is easy enough, but is extremely repetitive. – more... Sometimes it seems that the staff are more professional than the managers. Everybody is very friendly, but there is no support from our supervisors. We were told that if we refused sale of an age restricted item to someone who cannot provide valid ID the managers would back us up 100%. But, when we say no they say yes. There is no support. – less

Enjoyed working there, until I fell pregnant with our first child. Have had 3 more since. I was made redundant during my first pregnancy due to the store being rebuilt. I have remained a house wife ever since.

I was a niteshift worker so finished early in the morning.

I worked on the shop floor aswel as in the warehouse.

I personally dont like niteshift, it keeps u from socialising with ur friends outside of work, hobbies etc

The hardest part of the job was the hours, thats it.

I learned how to multi task & also how to work better as a team with others

Working as a seasonal colleague I, worked Christmas summer and easter when not at university. This flexibility and job security was excellent.

a typical day of work is: serve customers and replenish stock
management are very helpful and friendly, my co-workers are very warm and friendly, make me feel welcome
the hardest part of the job is replenishing stock as I have a bad back, and also ID'ing customers for items with age restrictions
the most enjoyable part of the job is the customers, when – more... I've helped them find what they like or help them with packing, they thank me for the help – less

I stacked shelves and rotated stock, Very simple once you know how can be tiring if your heavy lifting. The staff there are very friendly and helped me out alot with my time there I would definatly work there if a permanent job arose

I really enjoyed the bakery department because it allowed me to work with my hands which I am really good at. It was very fulfilling to see the immediate results of your work. I learned how to make various cream cakes and improved my customer service skills. The management was great, the meals were free and the other staff were extremely friendly. It – more... was a great atmosphere to work in. – less

This company was by far the best company I have worked for and would encourage anyone who has children and are looking to return to to world of work to apply for a job as they are very flexible when it comes to your needs. A typical day at work would include turning up to do your shift, maybe with enough time to sit with your colleagues and have a chat – more... over a coffee, head down to your department a few minutes before your shift starts and liaise with your colleagues on the shop floor to see what work needs doing. I found that the most enjoyable part of the job was working with the customers and also the close relationship between the management and the colleagues on the shop floor, the store manager runs an open door policy. However, the customers can also be one of the hardest parts of the job as every person is different and you do not know how people are going to react in certain situations. – less

A typical day at work when i was moving from working in departments to department from stacking shelves to hanging up clothes helping customers around the store and going back and forth. I learned that it is good to be patient sometimes because you never know what might happen. The management was really great they made sure everyone was in the position – more... they normally work at. My co-workers are very friendly and nice, we'd have a chat and sit to eat together at lunch timer. e even at times head home together when work is over. My hardest part of the job was having a lot of products to be put out on the shelf but i managed to complete it. The most enjoyable part of the job has to be working at the till. Its more fun than having to stack shelves but I'm glad i experienced both. – less

filling shelfs, mangement ok hardest part of job mundane work, best part working with other Team Mrmbers

asda was a fun and productive work place it was a great part of my work life.

Working 2 years in ASDA I learned how to attend to customers and being part of a big team, I had to deal with different personalities and cope with different people so I'm a great team worker. The most enjoyable part of the job is the nice enviroment there is among my colleaugues and up to know I didn't face any hard situation that I couldn't deal with.

With my experience at Asda the most enjoyable part of the job was meating knew people and being to help customers within the store. My co workers helped and showed me what to do threw out my experience and they where great to work with. The management at Asda was really good at showing me a week of what the work life has to show you, a typical day at – more... work would involve checking stock, ordering stock, working with security, working in the freezers and helping customers.

In this week of work experience i learned skills that will help me in the working life such as reaching your company goals in the time they give you, how to work with customers and to give them the informaiton they need ect. – less
