Pros

Hours are split as either weekday or weekend, not a combination of the two. You get to work with some fantastic people (on the Retail Operative level). Opportunities to progress upwards.

Cons

Management have very little interest in attending to staff morale, caring only for pushing sales. Wages aren't increased for Supervisors at a fair rate (staff wages rise, supervisors don't).

Pros

It is a clean environment with minimal health and safety issues, there are good managers, supervisors and employees. Another positive is that the pay isn't too bad considering, however for the work that's done and the items sold maybe there is a larger range than needed

Cons

Sometimes it takes a few minutes for spillages to be cleared. On some occasions managers are unintentionally condescending however not often. We don't receive a discount which most other competitors offer and as Primark is becoming more expensive I feel this would be a good inscentive

Pros

It's easy to get into, the other staff are friendly and they will help you get involved in activities that happen outside of work.

Cons

No benefits at all, didn't get extra pay for working over the Christmas period, sometimes management can be rude and strict.
