Pros

Staff are really friendly and helpful, despite all the hard work and stress that comes with working for Primark, they always seem to find the strength to keep on going by putting on a smile.

Cons

Job is stressful and staffs always feel so unappreciated. I won't recommend anyone there unless you have no choice. No staff benefits (except pension scheme) Less pay especially compared with the work load that people have to do there, No staff discounts No Christmas parties, except ones paid for by staff themselves. No form appreciation from some senior staff

Pros

You get lots of PTO up front as a part timer and can gain flex hours overtime. Get a 50 cent raise every six months.

Cons

Was told during onboarding that if a Christian comes into the store spreading the gospel, I have to kick them out. This includes the mention of the Jesus without the church invite. Managers claim its rude and if a customer does it, they get booted. Faced harassment from a customer and management didn't let me switch too a different department. Extremely high turnover rate and managers don't replace them, making your job more stressful during peak hours. Hard to use PTO. Little to no training. Too many bachelor and master holding part timers who get lucked out of moving up in the company. Managers give some people no task while pilling on multiple tasks on one person. Too many managers to deal with (and usually never find) and the full timers make you do the dirty work while they "unpack boxes". Its a pro-LGBT anti christian company. If they want to be pro-LGBT, than more power to them. But anti-Christian is discriminatory and unnecessary.
