Pros

Always something to do so it goes fast Genuinely can't think of anything else

Cons

Managers expect you to do about a million jobs in one, want you to get stock out, recover clothes and also be on till and can be extremely rude and patronising Customers are so messy with the clothes as I think they just see it as just cheap primark clothes and don't think of anyone actually sorting it out Horrible team atmosphere, everyone is constantly stressed, managers don't like workers working too close to each other in case of conversations, literally that bad No staff discount (I know its already cheap but there is literally no incentive to work here) I personally didn't get an opportunity for overtime I'd say its good for someone starting out in retail and wanting experience
