Pros

As a student i've worked for a few different retail stores and to most people's surprise, Primark have been my favourite employer (I only left because I got an internship). It's a pretty relaxed working environment with regard to flexibility - If i couldn't make a shift because of extenuating circumstance my line manager was willing to shuffle it around. Young workforce meant that I was able to get on with everyone. I was on a till so the day-to-day shifts were pretty straightforward and the availability of supervisors made it easy to get help when needed.

Cons

Can be quiet on evening shift which therefore drag. Can be very busy on the shop floor at the weekends, i did some overtime there and was very tired at the end of it. If this was your full time job it could be quite fun.

Pros

Excellent pay and get hours well in advance. Very fair with breaks and lots of events for staff bonding.

Cons

Very strict rules. Felt almost like being at school. Days can also be very mundane and repetitive as there is not much change.
