Pros
Gives you accountability for your results. Good pay and benefits
Cons
Internal politics at store manager level means that some GSMs spend more time managing their boss than they do leading their business. Badly managed employee engagement policies lead to colleagues believing that Asda is a benevolent entity rather than a business. Over reaction to KPI's on a daily basis instead of action on a consistent basis affecting the whole operation and customer experience. Satisfaction at work can be linked to how you get on with your boss. During my time I found that many are interested in what you can do for them, without any reciprocation. I found very few actual leaders amongst the GSM population. Many were managers without any leadership qualities, and several lacked the intelligence to hold a position with that level of responsibility.
