Argos Employer Reviews

picking items, serving customer in the best possible way. Running up and down was tiring sometimes,

only work experience, nothing permanent.
learned how to work on a till, and how to work under pressure in a fast paced environment.

Job role included operating tills, customer services, picking stock, and putting away deliveries. In July 2012 I also unofficially took on the role of weekend team leader. Extra responsibilities included being duty manager, supervising shop floor, and generally being the first point of call for any other colleagues having problems. This developed leadership – more... and organisation skills. Although I had started university, I was kept on the pay roll and worked full time hours during holidays. During my time at Argos I developed my communication and problem solving skills vastly as working with the general public can be challenging yet very rewarding. – less

This job was a good experience for me and it gave me a chance to gain skills that would be useful in future jobs. I would recommend working at Argos to others.

I was to provide good customer service to customers, answering any questions they may have about stock and the store itself. I also worked in the back of the store, in the stock room, as well as out front in the shop. In the stock room i would locate and collect the customer's items, bringing them to collection point. When working at the collection – more... point in the store i would give the customer their items and bag the items for the customer. If the store was not busy at certain times then i would use my time tidying up the shop floor collecting litter and sweeping the shop floor. I learned how to be more organised within the workplace. I gained skills withing the stockroom keeping things organised and tidy. Management and co-workers where easy to get along with as they were friendly and sociable people. the most enjoyable part of the job was meeting new people. I really enjoyed working in the stock room and i was kept busy through my shift. – less

Assisting customers on a face to face basis, helping out with any queries or issues. Collection and control of stock while achieving targets. Both co-workers and management worked together well as a close knit team, making this a motivating and enjoyable job.

Was a good fun place to work, however I was only a temp and there was no advancement opportunities.

it was a good place to work as it was busy most of the day. I learned how to work around the stockroom.

long hours and under paid although the staff were fun to work with

I lernt age restrictiions, disability awarness, how to work with customers.

I have worked in the cash office for about 8 years cashing up the tills making sure everything tallys up, but at the same time worked front of shop serving customers. we all pull together helping each other out in all aspects of work.The hardest part of the job is trying to leave on time,when your serving a customer you want to give 100% of your time.Working – more... as a team and everybody getting on is very high on my priority in work. – less

I enjoyed working at Argos, I liked working with new people and especially with the public.

It was great work experience. It was definitely worth the time and effort.

My work starts with a hot coffee, i will reach 8;45 am and have my coffee as usual, the store opens at 9 am. In briefing, the manager will tell us the figures of last day's sales and targets, whether we hit or not and what went wrong, what went right and how could we improve more as a team and as a store.
My work is to pick the items from the stock – more... room when its sold and let it available to the customer as early as possible. I have to ensure that the product which sold is in good condition. If its damaged , i have to replace it if we have more than one in stock, if not i will go and offer the customer an alternative product. Also we will offer the customer to buy the same product from any other store and i have to inform the customer when its arrived.
I learned that customer satisfaction is the key point of any business, if we serve the customer with great passion and respect, they will come and buy again. I learned how to work even in stressful condition and busy evenings.
Working with the best management and team in our area and proud to be a part of it. The hardest part would be if any worker didnt turn up in the morning and we wont be able to get anyone to replace him, so it would be hard work and too much for a single person. And the most enjoyable part is that we work as a team and we support each other more over interacting with customers and serving them gives more happiness and get energy to work . – less

i learnt a lot of skills from work as a order picker at Argos such as being able to pick items correctly, making sure that they go to the right destination etc. my co-workers was very polite and helpful i really enjoyed working with them as they was always there to help if i ever had a problem. i didn't really have a hardest part of the job as i managed – more... to get on with the job well as i am a very hard working person and always get the job done. – less

At Argos, I enjoyed the work environment because of the staff, Although the chance of a career progressing there is extremely slim, I enjoyed the overall experience though.

A day in a store is exciting and challenging,high achievers required and focus delivered in customer service ,team work is key to a great working enviroment you would find this across the estate.
I started as a christmas temp and through hard work support and opportunity I achieved promotion to store manager within 5 years.

The days always go quickly, as you're kept busy doing interesting work. Even the longer days don't seem that long.

All the staff and management are extremely friendly, which makes working there even more easier. The most enjoyable part of the job is dealing with customers, and I wouldn't say there is any major hard part to the job, it's all quite enjoyable.

enjoyable work, friendly staff and management. a lot of heavy lifting, enjoyed making sure the customer was happy.
