ASDA STORES LTD Employer Reviews

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

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
