Sales representative Review

I had a good time at Argos. The staff was great. Everyone was really nice. The work itself was easy. There wasn't much to it. Manning tills and also retrieving items from the storage. Manning tills was sometimes difficult depending on the customers though. Overall I cannot complain about the work.

I do feel that working in a place like Argos , you are a small cog in a machine. There was not much that I could have done to stand out as much as other people who were full time. That being said I don't feel like I was abused or made to work silly hours.

My manager was great training me. She was always ready to help me when I was starting out and made the job easy. This was especially true when dealing with difficult customers or in some situations were refunds needed to be processed. I didn't feel like I was alone in the job.

I don't think this job will impact my studies too much as I am doing a business course. This hasn't been very fruitful in the way I would have hoped. However there were instances in ways of dealing with customers that I have learnt. Just have to be more patience with them.

The insight was good. There were parts of ways of working then moved on to the actual job. However most of it was actually Manning the tills etc. It would have been nice to see more of the business side of things to get better insight of how much money Argos earn.

The atmosphere was good. My team was great. We all had banter. It was generally fun to be around like minded people for a change. Never a dull moment there even when things got quiet the work would keep you busy and engaged. Overall I can not complain about it.

My manager and team mates where always there for me. When I needed help they were there for me. I didn't feel as if I was lost at any time. They were really good at giving instructions and where easy to learn from. I never felt like they would ignore me, they always helped.

It did feel like I was an actual member of the staff. I did work they would do. So I feel like I had gained enough knowledge and experience to feel at home working full time with them. There were obviously some instances where tasks were not meant to be completed by me , but I still feel like I know what I would get into.

I fully understood the culture. The staff was great to be around . I wasn't left alone. Management was always kind to me and there was loads of banter. I felt that the the placement gave me the right idea about how the culture is in the company, and it's great there

I think that the content was great. It did help with me choosing to carry on with business as my career path . The content was great in parts but only lacking in some. Overall it was great to know that I was on a path that I enjoy but doing it in the real world.

I was paid adequately and on time. For a student it was great to get paid to learn and increase my knowledge for the future. I have no complaints about the pay it was great earning while at uni as it is tough to be a student living out and getting money was great.

There was plenty opportunities to network. There were many meetings held to talk to individuals in the company and also my team mates knew other and introduced me to make sure I had many people to contact once I left the placement so I can get back to them and carry on where we left off.

They were great. This normally happened at meetings but after them. It as great talking to new people and also people that started with me to learn how their experiences where. Overall a great experience talking to people that have worked there for so long and ways to get into there fields.

Yes at networking events and also daily work the team would ask if I wanted to hang out after work. There would be game nights which is great because I am a gamer so I loved this one. There were also dinner parties to attend which was great. Free food

Yes I would definitely recommend this placement to a friend if they are interested. Like all placements it is not for everyone but anyone who wants to get into business and such it is a great opportunity to work with them and gain knowledge of the business and learn and grow.
