Pros

Decent training, discount is ok, the people i worked with excluding management & team leaders where all nice people to work with & made some new friends.

Cons

What an absolutely awful experience. Argos is one of those companies who only care about hitting targets. They never take into consideration that it was sometimes hard to complete this targets as it was dead after Christmas time. Each of us would get moaned at, not only that but belittled. The management & team leaders only cared about themselves. They'd tell us we can't have a drink of water to sip at if we needed yet they'd come back with cups of coffee. It was all one way. They changed shifts the night before then blame us for not coming in. No company that I have ever worked for has only given a few hours notice. It's unbelievable. If I had time off sick everyone in store seemed to know why, surely that's my business? It should stay between myself and the manager. This store I worked in was within a homebase which meant not only did everyone know my business from Argos but they also told people in homebase. I've never been somewhere so unprofessional & rude.
