Cons
Managerial hypocrisy- My manager tells me off for doing things wrong or not meeting targets, yet she is the one sitting in her office watching videos on youtube or scrolling through her emails. She is incredibly self-centred Lack of appreciation- I sold breakdowncare, a card and two lots of product care in a week and felt I got next to no appreciation for it. Furthermore, when I started Argos I didn't actually get a uniform. I spent the first two months wearing Ralph Lauren polo shirts from home which made me prone to be patronised by customers as I looked unprofessional. I never actually got a uniform. In fact, I had to get one of my fellow work colleagues spare shirt which didn't fit him which I still use to this day.
