      Review of my time at Primark

      Retail operative
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It all depends on the store you work. My old one was great but it wasn't until I transferred to a different store then things took a turn for the worse. At my old store the store manager conducted all the meetings and motivated the staff, she involved the staff in things like budgets and percentages and genuinely loved her work force.

      Cons

      The Primark I transferred to the managers break employment law by not bothering to agree with you changes or cuts in hours of your contract and don't bother telling you until very short notice or not at all. But if you couldn't do a shift at short notice you got verbal abuse for it. There's no encouragement or motivation and everything you do is deemed wrong and if management make a mistake the try and turn it on you. Some people are excellent to work with while others are two faced bum lickers.
