      Current Employee - Customer Fulfilment/Delivery Driver in Plymouth, England
      Recommends
      Neutral Outlook
      No Opinion of CEO

      I have been working at Argos part-time for more than a year

      Pros

      Genuinely the easiest and least stressful job I have ever worked. Often get so far ahead you get 'paid' to sit on your phone, go to a café etc. Most staff are quite helpful and positive.

      Cons

      The vans really aren't looked after in terms of damage or cleanliness. Safety critical items are sometimes sorted but unless it's tires or a headlight bulb, it can wait apparently. Obviously driving dirty, damaged vans around can't be good for company reputation. The lack of fixed shifts/short issuing of rotas is a major issue and has caused lots of people to leave. Retention of staff is poor for many reasons.

      Advice to Management

      Make the most of the time drivers have out on the road if you want to make the job more challenging/make more money. Remove the ability to drop items early, or just remove that target completely. As long as it is between the customers requested drop window, does it even matter?
