Argos to create 175 part-time seasonal jobs

Argos is to create a further 175 part-time jobs in Ireland to cover increased demand over the forthcoming festive season.

The jobs will cover all of the catalogue and online retailer’s 40 Irish stores, with new team members receiving staff discounts of 10%. All positions will be just for the Christmas retail season.

Argos — which opened its first Irish store in early 1996 — claims to be one of the largest retail employers in the country, with around 1,500 full-time staff.
