Asda Group

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 ... more

How many people can imagine themselves saying 'I work in a supermarket, and I love it!!!'? No, I couldn't either, but strangely I do. I came to asda after my maternity leave ended, and I decided to leave my old job. My reason for leaving was slightly unusual. One of the regular customers of the bakery where I used to work was a very handsome doctor. The same very handsome doctor who had to stitch up my poor battered lady bits after I had forced a 9 pound six ounce baby into the world.

About five years ago I was looking for a job which would fit into my family. I didn't really need to work at the time, but thought it would be nice to have some of my 'own' money and a sense of worth.

A telephone call later, and I was on my way to collect an application form from Asda Superstore. After completing a pretty standard form, I returned it to the store and waited…… Just two days later I received a phone call asking if I could ... more

Asda is a well known supermarket, it provides all sorts of stuff, food, clothes, dvds, etc. They are practically everywhere around the country and you can't fail to see their adverts on the telly.

The role was for a full time assistant in BIBC (bought in bread and cakes) His main role is basically to servce customers and a lot of stock rotation. He applied for this job by obtaining a application ... more

I, like many people who work at Asda, was a lowly student who needed a few extra quid during holidays and at weekends, little did I know I was signing on to be part of a Nazi-esque regime! I left just over two years ago so some of the stuff may be a little out of date, and some may only apply to the Lincoln store where I worked. Applying: To get a job at asda you need to fill in an application form - this is available from the personnel department via writing, or from the customer services desk. To get to the next stage you will need to satisfy a points quota. Just so you know if you put ... more
