Pros

Primark is a great company to work for. I am in college and work part time at the weekends in penneys. The company is a superb company that does a lot for their staff. The wage is great and the union are always working on increasing our minimum wage and also working annually on wage increases. 4 weeks holidays a year and the freedom to be able to take extra days at your own expense. The best thing about working for primark is that there is ALWAYS room for self improvement and also promotion.

Cons

The busy-ness at the weekends and christmas, and customers can be rude

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.
