The chance to move forward and progress in your career is very real here, and Asda really invests in helping its people develop.
"Everyone is aligned behind our formula for growth and whilst its hard work and we aren’t yet seeing the fruits of our labour come through, it's only a matter of time."
There isn’t one! Whilst there are many set elements to the job, there are also opportunities that present themselves on an hourly basis! It’s one of the reasons I love the business as much as I do in so much that there’s so much to do based on the stage we are at in our transformation.
My day can go from being in meetings with the exec to meeting 1:1 with our amazing colleagues or working with suppliers on how we strengthen our trading proposition.
The colleagues I get to interact with on a day-to-day basis. Everyone is aligned behind our formula for growth and whilst its hard work and we aren’t yet seeing the fruits of our labour come through, it's only a matter of time.
Be open minded in the choices you make. I had a pretty firm view of the route I wanted my development to take. It didn’t go the way I planned it, but I got to experience so much more by being open minded and taking a few leaps into the unknown.
I think a lot of people (me included) joined ASDA at an early age not really knowing what they wanted to do in life, but quickly discovered a culture and set of values that naturally aligned. If you’re unsure then come and give it a go. Its rewarding, good fun and the people are awesome…..and hard work pays off.
