ASDA Stores

Working at Asda as a teenager back in the day was not so bad you know.They used to offer over time pay plus getting the job is not hard at all. They offer actually decent pay at over 6 pounds and for people over 25 the chances of getting paid around 8 pounds a hour is high to. Asda has a number of jobs the best one is on the till. I used to work on the till serving customers and found that to be easy. Sometimes you would get angry customers asking for you to pack the bags for them. Some of them used to be very mean and even complain if you packed a little slow. The managers at Asda can be very stress full to staff and that happened to me often.They would often ...  Read the complete review

Asda stores Though this review is obviously about Asda, I would like to explain that it is specifically my local store, which is in Blyth, Northumberland. My local store is open 24 hours (except Sunday) which is great for me as I work shifts. As a result, I find myself doing a lot of my shopping at 3am having just finished work. If you have the option of shopping at this time then I would highly recommend it, the shop is a lot quieter and there are plenty of staff available and happy to help, should you need it. It is also a much more enjoyable shopping experience, you can wander around looking at things without feeling stressed and wanting to ...  Read the complete review

I have read reviews of asda on this site and the newest one is about two years old now, so I thought it was time someone put some new information up for you all, especially if you are considering a full-time/part time job there. I applied after finding out about the vacancy on jobcentreplus, I attended the group interview which included some teamwork testing and they were seeing how well you got on with people, They said they would get back to me within 2 weeks but it was more like 5, I was relieved to hear back from them, then I went to my local store to attend the 'have a go interview' this is where they put you on a till and you served some customers, they ...  Read the complete review

Took a job there in desperation working as a home shopper. Picking was a doddle apart from being distracted by customers with requests. The managers were a mixed bag, some nice while others had a superiority complex towards colleagues and were unprofessional to say the least. The home shopping department at my store was seen by some managers as a dept that wasn't needed, so it never got any support when things were bad. This resulted in working extra hours under difficult circumstances for little or no thanks, and you also need to keep an eye on the payslip to make sure you got paid for any overtime as you're constantly reminded on noticeboards that the store has ...  Read the complete review

I've been working at ASDA's store in Radcliffe since October 2007. ASDA really tends to big itself up as great employer so I thought I'd write a review on working there and you can make your own minds up. A Brief History Asda was the brain child or butchers and dairy farmers from Yorkshire wh's dream was to create a place for one stop shopping. The planning and initial stores began in the 1920's but it wasn't until 1949 that Associated Dairies was born. By 1970 Asda had 70 stores all over the North of England but wanted to head South. By 1981 they had expanded with 8 stores opened in the Southern regions and Wales. In 1989 ASDA joined forces with designer ...  Read the complete review
