Pros

Manageable itineraries, newish vans, well known

Cons

Very, very poor management at all levels. One of the delivery managers couldn’t drive a car and I had to show them how to turn the vans lights off. Same day delivery is not cost effective and is completely unreachable as a business. Business model doomed to fail. Policies changes are too slow and often ridiculous and made by people who either don’t drive or at least no idea about how home delivery actually works. Also how to apply different van standards based on the actual work they need to do

Pros

Very social job, working with customers and helping them pick out the right products feels amazing Technology makes things like click and collect orders very easy to carry out

Cons

All customer-facing employees are expected to sell financial services, but are not given any commission. A quota is expected to be met which can be unrealistic on slow weeks. One of the managers was obsessed with pleasing the line manager and would make us tidy up the stock shelves to the point of it seeming like everyone in the store has OCD. This wasted a lot of time which could have been spent on more important matters. Management took an entire evening to determine whether a suspicious refund I fulfilled was legitimate, and then punished me for not being able to do the same checks on the spot despite how long it took them to do it themselves. My contract with them was closed before I could even be eligible for an employee discount card.

Flexibility in how you work, Argos is the perfect place for a new parent.

Cons

With redundancies and trying to adapt to working from home, Argos has become a sour place to work compared to what it was 5+ years ago.
