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.

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.
