Argos

Argos is a great company to work for.

I really enjoy my job and the challenges is throws up on a daily basis.

Discount

Pay, hours worked, unpaid 20min breaks, constant heavy workload, not enough staff, poor health & safety, ignoring covid is a problem, difficulty booking holidays, constant errors in pay & holiday, constant nagging about same things daily, piling workload on with total disregard to staff physical & mental health, ignoring time wasting staff, ignoring loss of revenue to the business through poor driver standards, parking fine etc. Not able to organise Christmas meals, short on praise or reward for a job well done. Unapproachable management. Unable to resolve issues or get correct information.

Making a difference within the work environment i work within, my hours are flexible.

we dont get informed when they put overtime on our schedule.

My workmates

Being shouted at and insulted by customers

When you get the support you need

Lack of support and management going back on their words

Once on the road, it is just me and I like that

The early starts

Nice understanding customers

Lack of support from management

Staff I work with

Early finish
Paid every 4 weeks

Getting up at 4am

Tow the line, do as required. Jack of all, master of none.

Not being responsible for one area and specialising in that area. I used to manage fulfillment, and performed well. Now I don't manage any area, but manage all areas.

The colleagues, the atmosphere. The of is pretty good.

Having targets for add ons, financial services, and Argos cards at the till.

All the staff and managers in the store are friendly and approachable and will help if you need help.

Sainsbury's who own argos are not the best company to work for. They care more about their profit and not about the staff.

The people

Finding people in the city centre

Some of my colleagues are friendly and we work well as a team

Being punished with written warnings for small mistakes

Constantly keeping busy

Hours arent the best

the team i work with

Good friendly atmosphere and staff.

Early morning starts. Working Christmas and new year

Pay and hours

Work load and stress

It's easy, always meeting people

The hours, contracts are not full time as I'd prefer

A lot of work but easily understood

Intensity of customers

Not stressful, easy work and you can change available hours

Boring, different shifts each week, low hours and no sick pay plus 3 sick days a year means you get called into the office

The community and team. Pay.

Rude customers

Progression within the company, do my own rota, empowered & supported to achieve goals

Often end up working longer days, from home etc. Without recognition

Nice people and it's easy to learn with the help provided

Pay isn't great and neo

Routine and good systems

Bullying and some lying managers

the team I work qith

no staff no breaks

Meeting general public

Not enough hours
