Pros

Friendly staff. Safe. Security. Choice of work to do.

Cons

Sometimes managers are so obsessed with how staff look to the public that they forget that we have feelings too. I suffer with depression and anxiety. Alongside bi polar Deisese. A customer recent called me "a pointless, worthless and stupid person, that doesn't deserve to be here" I tell myself those words every day, I fight the urge to harm myself everyday because I feel WORTHLESS, To hear it from someone else got too much and I broke down. I was told to calm down, the customer was apologised to on my behalf. A woman that VILE should be told to LEAVE AND never come back. She could've pushed me over the edge with those comments and if it had been a few month before she may well have done just that. Staff are paid to be friendly, to help. We are not paid to have randomers tell us horrible things that make us question who we are, and why we're here. I don't think I'll be able to continue working at Argos, I am an Xmas temp and after today I'm sure I will be let go. It's not fair and it's not right.

Pros

From my experience there wasn't a lot of pros infact just one, that would be fellow colleagues. My colleagues was kind, fun and easy to get along with, they made me feel welcome.

Cons

Well, management had no care but for they selves and for the stores interlinking to them selves (bonuses). The manages had no control of the store or how it worked, or had the slitested idea of how to manage a thing.

Pros

I applied for a Christmas temp job, and was replied to very quickly. The interview process was very efficient and I found out the same day that I had the job. All of my colleagues have been more than welcoming, and are extremely nice to work with. The store itself is brand new, and kitted out with the latest gadgets. I feel the company itself makes a point to ensure that its employees are well looked after and are entirely happy with their work. There's a real sense of teamwork when it comes to meeting targets. Can't imagine working anywhere else now!

Cons

I found the till system a little daunting as its quite complicated but it's not too bad once you get the hang of it. Other than that I have no cons for working there.
