Primark reviews

Staff training in my store doesn't seem thorough enough to me, it takes us staff a good few shifts to figure everything out when first starting there, and there a certain things that I've had to figure out on my own on the tills. Some of the more senior staff (supervisors/management) can be a little condescending and patronising at times, and we also get mixed messages on certain things, such as whether or not we should stay on tills when there are no customers. Also, when I first started I was told that there would be plenty of opportunities for overtime, and I did do quite a bit of overtime myself when the store were short staffed, but overtime has now been stopped except on occasions such as Christmas, which is disappointing as most of us can now only work four hours per week, which many feel isn't really enough.

Very busy environment at times, though I don't find this to affect my motivation to work. Some staff can be a bit `lazy` and aren't as motivated to get things done to a high standard. Fairly large influx of staff at times (e.g. Christmas) means occasionally overtime is hard to come by, however, this year, existing staff members seem to have been favoured for overtimes which is good!
