Pros

Flexible hours, not bad work overall. Easy enough for a competent person, basically typical for a customer service position.

Cons

Passive-aggressive management, lackluster staff room. Pay wasn't great, though decent enough. Way too much focus on pushing the Argos card, instead of overall customer experience. Sexism abounded.

Pros

Continous training and opportunities. Continously being monitored and evaluated. Good pay scale. Good environment. Free hot drinks.

Cons

Too much emphasis on stats, some irrelevant and hard to achieve, such as call handling time whilst being told to resolve the customers query or problem to the best standard.

Pros

If you can surround yourself with a brilliant team, the work seems to just fly by. You are trained in all aspects of the role and whilst you cannot chose where you stay, you can easily ask to be transferred to different roles, or even different stores, should your circumstances change, for example going to University.

Cons

The job itself is extremely demanding, in times of short staff or busy seasonal periods (such as Christmas and New Year), the managers can push you to your limit, having to be trained in all areas such as tills, stockroom and headset picking. It is also a gamble to whether you are placed in a store that has great management - from personal experience, typically you do not realise this until you're already settled in the job, which makes things extremely difficult.
