Good for students
Customer Service (Former Employee) - Ireland - 3 September 2023
Great for student work. Fast paced and different to other retail jobs on account of the order system. Can be cliquey but that’s fine if you’re not working there long

Great company. Horrible managers
Customer Advisor (Former Employee) - Galway - 2 May 2017
Worked at argos galway for a year. They would let you work 3 hours 45 mins in order to save money on paying us a 15 minute break. Got bullied. Called names. One of my final days here ended as i was told "sure we can replace you just as quick as you leave". Got barely any training in argos. The company is fine. Its just the management in galway that is the problem. Not a nice place to work.
Pros
Double pay bank holidays
Cons
Management are bullies.
