does anyone know the hourly pay for argos??? and if its a decent place to work like :smile:

thanks


I have worked at Argos for 2 years now and it varies. It can be very demanding and frustrating at times especially during christmas and New Cat. Lauch, but it is also very rewarding. You will have fun working there, as long as you work hard, and remember to do your "321 checks.." :yes:
I was studying at the same time so it can be a bit tiring but you should be able to pull through no problem. If you have any other questions just ask me :cool: Remember to keep your cool even when the customer you're serving can be a right prat.

I was wandering around what month did they call you for an interview. As I've been waiting 3 weeks.

Thats wrong, it is £5.73 for over 18s, and I know this for sure. Because I not only asked, but actually calculate my paid hours in my pay cheque, plus i have worked there for 3 years now. Pay will be increasing however to 5.80ish. Not a massive increase, but there you go.

However you are right about time and a half, and double time.

Plus they pay you basic contracted hours monthly, however any overtime hours are paid each month in this method. They only pay last months last 2 weeks, and the new month in which you are paid's first 2 weeks. Then the final two weeks overtime for the new month, will be in the next pay cheque

There isnt really a set time, as all managers have a varied aount of application forms to get through. However, our store manager said he will be calling for interviews in the next 4 weeks for the christmas temps
