Pros
Good staff discount, fairly good pay if you work long enough hours. You get a free brew IF you actually manage to get a break.
Cons
The health and safety exams are out-right stupidity! I worked there for no longer than a month, I was left upstairs in the warehouse (where it was absolutely freezing) And I had to complete a health and safety exam. Come on guys, it's Argos, not BAE SYSTEMS. You get examined on how you lift a certain item (Do it wrong you have to take the whole test again) Which by the way, the test took me (If I genuinely stuck to it) about 3 months. The management? Jesus christ.. Maybe not in all stores but God sake they have their heads in the clouds at Barrow-in-furness. They left not just me, but I think 3 others in separate rooms in nasty conditions, no breaks or anything, to finish off this lousy test (It's not hard, but it really.. Really drags, I got told it took one member a year to complete) Other than all that, it seems like a okay place to work - just make sure your bank isn't a Furness Building Society! Some how they have no clue how to pay into it without it taking 2 extra months.
