Pros

Shifts were relatively short, I suppose. That is about it.

Cons

I was so excited about working for Asda, but when I started I quickly saw it was not what I had hoped. I felt bullied by the staff. I was never properly trained on the till and I told the team leader I did not feel confident in using it yet, but was told we will come back to it later. I was put on picking and putting away stock for two months, then one day I was thrust onto tills without any knowledge how to work them. All the staff were rolling their eyes at me until I explained I have never used tills before and then one of the older members of staff said they never train temps properly and not to worry as she will help me. She did but her shift was soon over and I was by myself trying to use a machine I had never used before while the queue of customers increased and increased. Absolutely dreadful! Management was so rude and had no problem in embarrassing you infront of customers and staff for the slightest issue. Just made to feel unwelcome by all long-term staff and when asking for help with a task was sneered at behind my back by staff.
