Ok not great

Greeting and serving customers was fine but I would not recommend company for definite progression if that is what you are looking for, it's ok for students

Good for students

Stressful during peak times such as around Christmas. Was always fair with pay, with hourly wage increasing regularly. Reasonable flexibility for part-time employment

Good for students

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

Fun workplace

Friendly colleagues, different tasks available everyday. Some customers were challenging but this is the norm in every job. Salary v low at the time (€10.5 ph)

Great company. Horrible managers

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.

Stockroom Team Leader

During my time at Argos I found that for the most part their management to be friendly and courteous . Argos was a great place to work. The only draw back was the 6 hour contract.
