Pros

Your day goes in very fast as it is that busy. A lot of employees are very nice.

Cons

Don't get a discount, only at Christmas. Most supervisors and managers are very unsociable, very moody, and always tells you what to do not what you can do. Very messy shop. Really long shifts for rubbish pay.

Pros

Meeting different kind of people, making new friends, meeting different customers from around the world. Working at Primark, definitely you can improve your skills when dealing with people. Primark also makes you more aware of how you should treat the members of staff from different stores, also to be tidy when shopping in other stores.

Cons

The managers ask to much from the staff,they expect you to do a job which is for 2-3 people alone, some of the managers are actually very rude, they never help, always have short staff, therefore the management becomes agitated and start pushing the staff for extra work, they never let you go home on time, always expect to stay over your shift, low wage.
