Pros

As a part time job alongside studying for A-Levels Primark was great. It was nice to work with so many staff and majority who were of the same age as me (17-20). The job itself was fairly easy and staff were trained well.

Cons

For me the issue with Primark was they were not very flexible with hours and gave me mainly 4 hour shifts which wasn't really worth the time and money it cost me to travel there. The worst thing about working for the company is that customers are often rude and their behaviour towards staff is demeaning.

Pros

Work in primark. Nice inside? An alright pay? But don't take my word for it (seriously don't). To reiterate ; this review is simply for an offer.

Cons

Pros

Plenty of overtime is offered if you wish to take it. Most members of staff were friendly and easy to get along with. Full training received on the job.

Cons

Poor management at times. Breaks were sometimes either not scheduled, or taken randomly. No permanent structure to the roster - one day you could be working your contracted hours, the next you could be on overtime. Whilst there was a lot of overtime offered, a lot of the time it wasn't optional - you were just rostered down for it and expected to be able to work the extra hours no matter what.
