Argos reviews

The biggest con of working at Glasgow Silverburn was the managers. There was a big management change and it was the reason why I left. Managers are all over the place in terms of actually managing a team. Stockroom are told to do one job as another job build-ups to a point where it's unmanageable and then managers would get flusters and put the stockroom back on the original job with sometimes being told "a driver will be in soon" even though nowhere in your job description that it says you'll be expected to do that. Managers are quite intrusive when asking for days off as they want to know why you can't work that day. Rota's come out about a week/5 days in advance and they believe that this is ample time for you to plan your life. Working weekends is a must. It will be very hard to get a weekend off regardless of how many you're working. If you've gone full-time then sometimes you can work 8/9 days in a row with one day off just because of the way the system works.

- Weekly rota - struggled to make plans outside of work because we didn't receive our rota for the next week sometimes as little as four days before the first day of the rota week. - Pay is very poor - why is there a separate under-21 wage? I also have expenses e.g. car insurance, fuel, shopping. - Often the store can get incredibly dead which leaves you standing on the tills doing absolutely nothing for hours on end. Time drags by incredibly slowly. - Incredible emphasis on selling product care and argos cards. Doesn't matter if you make 65 sales in under a minute, putaway four cages by yourself, or encourage someone to not instead go to a rival retailer as if you're not lucky and don't sell enough care / cards, you're the first to hear it from your manager. - Handling a huge putaway by yourself or serving a customer with five others in the queue is stressful enough, added to only by managers / team leaders hiding away in the aisles on their phones. They're getting paid for that!? - Terminals are still not contactless enabled. One of the only retailers who haven't caught up in 2019.
