Pros

There are none! Aweful company to work for

Cons

Management lack people skills, they think they are god when really they work for a branded charity shop! It’s toxic and nasty. Lots of bullying and favouritism. Your not a member of staff your replaceable and you can see that by the way you are treated

Pros

I learnt a lot whilst at Primark and it was my first job. Now this is on my CV, other jobs I apply for are more likely to take me as it's a staple business that everyone knows is a very hard job to do.

Cons

Understaffed constantly, absolute nightmare to keep tidy given how many customers come in vs how much staff we had (even when fully staffed).

Not worth it

Pros

Above minimum wage nice break room

Cons

A lot of micromanaging going on. The supervisors barely know what's going on so its a lot of miscommunication. In Orientation they preach about being flexible with changing schedule but in reality they are not. One supervisor tried to pry into my personal life and ask what my medical history is.
