      Positive Outlook
      Approves of CEO

      I worked at Argos part-time for more than a year

      Pros

      Always busy and many lists of things to do such as deliveries, putting stock away, rearranging stock-room to facilitate a better organisation. Carrying out excess to obtain free space in stockrooms. Great team of people to be working with and team building days are fun and adventurous.

      Cons

      Sometimes having early shifts are a bit difficult as you may turn up early but deliveries do not turn up on time/are late and also it is frustrating when not all the items are delivered which results in angry customers.
