Average job, difficult and stressful for young workers

Customer advisor

Business Outlook

Pros

Decently flexible hours, a good amount of training beforehand, relatively easy interview (they're not picky about who they hire), decent amount of variation between tills and stockroom work if you can be bothered to negotiate with them.

Cons

Incredibly stressful especially on young employees - they put far too much pressure on 16-17 year olds, even part-time workers, setting ridiculously high targets that are next-to-impossible to attain for young employees. An excess amount of managers that makes it confusing concerning who has authority and who to defer to; one manager in particular was condescending and patronising on his best days.

Argos Response

It's true, even with our great propositions like Fast Track, without our people giving a brilliant service to our customers then we wouldn't be the organisation we are. Thanks for taking the time to review.

Pros

Manager was nice. Hours were flexible. The job isn't hard when there aren't a lot of customers. There's always something to do.

Cons

Staff weren't very welcoming. Job very stressful when there are lots of customers. Reluctant to ask for help when I struggled with something because other staff were rude and made me feel bad.

Argos Response

Thanks for your review. Good o to hear you were kept busy and you felt there was flexibility within your role. Sorry to hear you didn't feel all of your colleagues welcomed you appropriately. We're launching a new induction and buddy scheme soon to ensure everyone gets a great experience when they join.
