Pros

I can't even think of anything positive.

Cons

No prior training at all, thrown on the job at Christmas time when there are more than double the amount of customers, poor management, no health and safety policies, left to work alone in a vast stock room which should have two people minimum, no loyalty to employees. Work anywhere else but Argos.

Possibly the worst place to work

Pros

Staff are nice and theres a team atmosphere even if management don't necessarily help.

Cons

Pay is very low.. Just above minimum. Hours are terrible nowadays. Most people are on 3 or 5 hour contracts yet those hours can be spread over a few days. No breaks and very little overtime. Also the company does not provide sick pay yet it advertises the fact it does which is a lie. Always new tasks added to the job yet the pay never increases and you're expected to do training in your own time. Expected to be available 24/7. Can be very difficult to get a second job as Management can say no.

Pros

I am able to switch round so that i change round and not do the same job all day

Cons

Due to the large catalog it can be difficult to have good product knowledge but you will obviously have the catalog to refer to if need be.
