Pros

10% discount, (20% on one day of the year, however can only be used on one transaction). Other staff members are lovely and helpful Team leaders are appoachable and helpful Flexible hours

Cons

Rubbish pay! I'm 20 and get under living wage due to my age. Managers aren't very organised (minus 1, one is very very good) Too much drive into insurance of products and Argos cards! The work place is very dusty (be prepared for grey coloured hands if you are picking items) The stockroom has really high shelves and ladders that aren't big enough The shelves are way too close together Expected to carry heavy items (often over 20kg by yourself) Can be very stressful at busy times of the day Staff levels are stupidly low (you have to keep asking to go on your break otherwise you'll be forgotten as no-one to cover you) You only get 1 set of uniform (jacket, trousers and 2 shirts if you're lucky) The training is extremely long!!
