Pros

This company is opening 60 stores in the US by 2026.

Cons

This company is going through a management restructuring in 2024. It now has very little movement opportunities after reaching the Department manager role. The next role would be Assistant Store Manager. In the past the NY metro area stores would have 3-6 Assistant Store Managers. Now as of this restructuring they are limiting the position to 1 per store. During this restructuring the Department manager are now being giving tasks and duties that were once the responsibility of a higher role (which meant higher income and better title) with-out seeing any increase in wages. At the same time this company continues to bring over Store Managers from their European stores. This again limiting the chances of moving up with this company. Primark is managing their business to be all mid level managers with very little career enhancements.

Pros

Good part time hours. HR could have been worse

Cons

Store manager was an unreasonable jerk who when he left for a week every other manager was calmer and work was pleasant as soon as he came back it’s like walking on egg shells. Absolutely insane

Pros

Some nice coworkers if your a decent looking guy like me female coworkers will hit on you lol and a slight discount. Schedule was flexible.

Cons

The customers are absolutely disgusting and rude. Cheap clothing attracts cheap people, poor people with bad attitudes from bad neighborhoods. They trash the store so your constantly cleaning up. My time thier it got so bad they got rid of the couches people could sit on because costumers would just trash it. Managers/leads what ever they call themselves would just walk in circles barking micromanagement orders. Some obviously had favorites. Managers would just talk to each other constantly and God forbid they even caught coworkers saying hi to each other.
