chem1st Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 It only opened up recently. Hasn't been there long at all, not even 2 years yet. Through transline or blue arrow or ASOS itself? (I know a fair few agency staff weren't keen and quit, but also know some that enjoy it, stayed on and went permanent, I know others that have left in search of other work due to their partners being given different shifts in order to avoid relationship breakdown. ) I believe for the grunt work you have to start through an agency before you become permanent. But for senior/higher paid positions go through ASOS itself. They (ASOS) run a staff bus from Barnsley centre to get you there, Sheff to Barnsley on train 25/35min - fast/slow trains. If you work for Royal Mail or their damn dirty agency (Angard) you are for all intents and purposes working partially for ASOS, the amount of ASOS parcels going though Brightside is quite significant.

Nigel Womersle Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Asos is in the middle of nowhere and perhaps not connected to the sewerage system. Sometimes it reeks when you drive past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Womersle Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 A friend's son got a job there. He was given the task of sniffing clothes to see if anyone had worn them. He didn't go back. That's what I was told anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
