RecommendsPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Argos part-time (More than a year)
Pros
Plenty Hours
Great Colleagues
Easy to learn
Good Location
Always busy, especially around peak. Really really busy which passes time quick.Cons
Managers can be confusing, stressful and unfair.
Sales targets are annoying af and taken way to seriously especially being such a small part of the entire job, you can be amazing at customer service, delivery, picking items, teamwork but if you don't sell cards and care all your good and hard work is overlooked.Advice to Management
Be friendlier and more understanding haha.

Pros
Family-like atmosphere
They really teach and mentor you
Place to have work/life balance and have true friends
I have joined Amazon and realised what an incredible working environment Argos/Home Retail Group was instead. Even with the higher salary at Amazon & fancier office, to go through the mental torture of what they put you through isn't worth it in the long-run. There's an inside joke at Amazon that if you stay in the company for longer than one year, you're 'ancient'

Argos didn't have flexible working hours or working from home

RecommendsPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Argos part-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
I am interested in working in tills since I am working as a volunteer at Cancer research UK. And I previously have worked in British Heart Foundation as a volunteer. I need a job ungently as a part time
Cons
I have 3 children. Sometimes they're not well and I might be off which is why im hoping for a part time job.
Advice to Management
My advice to Management would be to co-operate and have responsibility in what your doing. And to also be honest.
