Pros

Good staff and management, made you feel like you were part of a family! Working at Primark you need to be able to deal with stress, this job IS stressful and very demanding - you will also be exhausted after a shift, because this is one of the busiest high street stores in the Country. The interview process was also good, be yourself and show how passionate you are about fashion and customer service.

Cons

As stated, it is very demanding - emotionally and physically so if you cant take that, or if you're a person who is easily upset and stressed, this probably isnt for you. In my store, the management was very picky about standards and you would be harshly told if you weren't doing a good job.

Pros

You get lots of PTO up front as a part timer and can gain flex hours overtime. Get a 50 cent raise every six months.

Cons

Was told during onboarding that if a Christian comes into the store spreading the gospel, I have to kick them out. This includes the mention of the Jesus without the church invite. Managers claim its rude and if a customer does it, they get booted. Faced harassment from a customer and management didn't let me switch too a different department. Extremely high turnover rate and managers don't replace them, making your job more stressful during peak hours. Hard to use PTO. Little to no training. Too many bachelor and master holding part timers who get lucked out of moving up in the company. Managers give some people no task while pilling on multiple tasks on one person. Too many managers to deal with (and usually never find) and the full timers make you do the dirty work while they "unpack boxes". Its a pro-LGBT anti christian company. If they want to be pro-LGBT, than more power to them. But anti-Christian is discriminatory and unnecessary.
