Pros

16 years service...loved it before voice pick...now its OK always feels like family...new challenges never boring....probably be there another 16 years...it can be different at times depending on the current management team, who change frequently... The current team are motivated but don't really get stuck in on the shop floor, however life is so different from one day to the next at Argos because the tasks are so varied, never a dull moment, its like Marmite you either love it or hate it.... I'm hoping I can get back to giving it 5 stars in the near future... But that certainly won't be until after peak now....because we are facing a tough one this year as our Store do Home and local store deliveries... Plus we have the new Fast Track service and EBay collections...let's hope our normal service in store isn't too disrupted... Otherwise we may lose some custom....can't wait!!

Cons

Voice pick...slows us down....shop floor too full...staff shortage...no time to keep on top of counts on the shop floor...things get stolen a lot..things need to be minimal where displays are concerned...as the staff have so much more to do now....we need to be customer focused instead of task focused!!!!

Pros

Get to meet new people whilst working both employees and customers and get to give good customer service.

Cons

The managers I had were rude and horrible to staff. Very hard work and don't get enough support. Get hardly any benefits from working for the company. Not enough staff at peak times throughout the year, e.g Christmas, summer, therefore making it hard work for the staff. Not enough pay for the amount of work needed to do.
