Business Outlook

Pros

Management outside of leadership is dedicated and motivating to work for.

Cons

People who work at Primark USA are robotic to the leadership team. Situations were always handled based on level of risk management rather then having one on one conversations. It’s very discouraging to watch people and situations to be treated this way rather then morally right.
