Does anyone here work for B&Q?

[Naga]

I was looking at applying for a customer adviser role in the gardening dept. and wondered what the job entails? I didn't really want to work on a checkout and this role seemed like it was more focused on helping customers finding what they want and providing information on those products in that particular dept?

I just looked on their website. Does this help: B&Q - Customer Advisor page

I used to work for B&Q, and I enjoyed it, I only left when I was offered a better office job...

As far as I can remember, the gardening boys never went on checkouts! There was a lot of lifting involved, and they are often outside, but they were knowledgeable, and did a lot of customer-focussed work in terms of advice and product finding

the bods in our branch are just trained to say "nah, we ain't got that. Can't remember never havin that ever"

My daughter's a section manager at a B&Q and loves it! Plenty of training for those who want it, good discounts etc. A Granddaughter used to work in the gardening section, but sad to say, like a lot of teenagers, she wasn't really interested in the job or its prospects and opportunities so just did the minimum work for the minimum wage. I wouldn't mind working in the gardening section part time during the week, mornings only (don't want much do I ). After all, they do take on "older" members of society

Every time I go to B & Q the plants are almost dead no one seems to look after them
