Pros

Meeting different kind of people, making new friends, meeting different customers from around the world. Working at Primark, definitely you can improve your skills when dealing with people. Primark also makes you more aware of how you should treat the members of staff from different stores, also to be tidy when shopping in other stores.

Cons

The managers ask to much from the staff,they expect you to do a job which is for 2-3 people alone, some of the managers are actually very rude, they never help, always have short staff, therefore the management becomes agitated and start pushing the staff for extra work, they never let you go home on time, always expect to stay over your shift, low wage.

Primark only offer staff discount at christmas and it is only 10%, the uniform is a bit boring and uniform rules can be quite strict.

Pros

Flexible in breaks. Chance to meet new people. Develop sense of initiation if committed enough. No pressure from targets. Lots of overtime

Cons

Little room to develop after being there for 1 and a half years. Little opportunity to develop communication skills. Depends on your store but there will also be lazy people who will dump and make your section to clean harder.
