Pros

The people who I work with. The staff at on the other end when you contact Store Support are so nice and friendly and couldn't do more to help.

Cons

The constant short staff issue. Newer members of staff being given more contracted hours than people who have worked there longer. The joke of what your ment to get in a week. (Add-ons, Product Care and E-recipits). It's a joke. The bar is set far to high. The newer members of staff having more hours in a week than people who have been working there for a longer period of time. The contracted hours do not get upped after the 6 month trial period. When you get a voucher the voucher is not specified on the tills. That we get more discount at Homebase than at the company who actually hired us. The discount is rubbish 10% isn't enough. We where told about Argos Academy yet nothing has been done. If you want to do it the answer shouldn't be that if you do everything that's expected e.g. Add-ons, E-recipits and product care and more then they will be able to do the Argos Academy.
