Pros

Pay for the position was very competitive

Cons

1. This is a company that talks a good game, but rolls out sweeping changes that adversely affect large amounts of employees. 2. They roll out new initiatives then figure out how to do it, vs. actually planning. 3. Their payroll and staffing model is a joke.

Pros

This company is opening 60 stores in the US by 2026.

Cons

This company is going through a management restructuring in 2024. It now has very little movement opportunities after reaching the Department manager role. The next role would be Assistant Store Manager. In the past the NY metro area stores would have 3-6 Assistant Store Managers. Now as of this restructuring they are limiting the position to 1 per store. During this restructuring the Department manager are now being giving tasks and duties that were once the responsibility of a higher role (which meant higher income and better title) with-out seeing any increase in wages. At the same time this company continues to bring over Store Managers from their European stores. This again limiting the chances of moving up with this company. Primark is managing their business to be all mid level managers with very little career enhancements.
