Pros

Met some loveliest work colleagues I have ever worked with. A great community. Bonuses including a staff discount.

Cons

Dealt with the rudest customers who thought they were above the laws. Constantly treated as a nobody or lowly by customers. Some days I had to work overtime (which we didn't agreed to) due the huge mess customers have left us to tidying and cleaning up before we could go home.

Primark is a place for bullies

Pros

The tasks at primark are straight and very easy to adapt too.

Cons

The trainning provided is really poor and you have to learn by yourself to do the tasks. They also put me on the wrong tax code where it led to me recieving a low salrary to my expectations . I was told before i worked at primark that there is alot of unprofessionalism with the managers behaviour and they behave very arrogantly with employees and they are unaware of damaging someones performance for their own agenda. I didnt believe this until i had to experience it myself and im telling you now this place is a toxic environment full of bullies even the managers were bullies and were looking for a way to have you dismissed. My time at Primark was very uncomfortable and i felt i cant even speak to the managers about any issues at work because they wouldnt keep it confidential and it would be gossiped to the other person so there is alot of misconduct with the employers at primark. Even the assistant manager at primark was very rude and blunt when i spoke about these issues. I felt like they were not taking it serious enough and didnt showany sympathy or remorse to my bullying i recieved at primark.Sometimes they showed signs of discrimination but they would do it very lowkey. I would not recommend anyone to work at Primark and i would describe the environment a toxic place for any new recruits.
