Being part of the team at Argos is more than just working in retail. It's how we deliver our commitment to our customers that we'll provide the products they want however and whenever they want them. And our Customer Advisors are the face of that. Working in one of our standalone retail stores you'll serve customers on tills and on the collection counters, be present on the shop floor and help out your colleagues in the stock room.
It's helpful but not necessary to have previous experience to work for us. What we really want to see is a passion for delivering excellent customer service, taking pride in the work that you do. Most of our roles work part-time with a variety of shifts across the stores opening hours, including weekdays and weekends. You'll have your guaranteed part-time hours every week and there may be overtime opportunities.
We aim to make everyone who joins us be the best they can be and are committed to being a fully inclusive retailer where our customers love to shop, and our colleagues love to work!
