Pros

The pay is about the only decent thing about working there. I have nothing else positive to say about Primark.

Cons

Supervisors were very lazy and rude. Was supposed to be on the Tills and was made to fold and pick up knickers every shift. I complained about this as I had previously stated that I enjoyed working on the tills and was told that I was taken off the tills because I was "good at my job" but surely if you are good at something they will keep you on them. To me, being on the tills is a good job because you are interacting with customers and handling money but everyone else working there seemed to think the tills were a bad thing. I constantly worked hard, always on time and never had a day off and I felt this went un-noticed and I got no recognisition for my hard work. Supervisors were constantly standing around talking and not doing any work.

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.
