      Pros

      As much overtime as you like for most of the year, relaxed environment, good pay in Ireland (£7.5.3 p/h) and extra time on Sundays and bank holidays and summer bonus.

      Cons

      Extremely hard to swap shifts, occasionally overtime drops to nothing for a few weeks at a time

      Review of my time at Primark

      Retail operative
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It all depends on the store you work. My old one was great but it wasn't until I transferred to a different store then things took a turn for the worse. At my old store the store manager conducted all the meetings and motivated the staff, she involved the staff in things like budgets and percentages and genuinely loved her work force.

      Cons

      The Primark I transferred to the managers break employment law by not bothering to agree with you changes or cuts in hours of your contract and don't bother telling you until very short notice or not at all. But if you couldn't do a shift at short notice you got verbal abuse for it. There's no encouragement or motivation and everything you do is deemed wrong and if management make a mistake the try and turn it on you. Some people are excellent to work with while others are two faced bum lickers.

      Part time primark

      Part time retail assistant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Primark is a great place to work, it is a great job to have alongside studying. They always have overtime, they have plenty of opportunities to progress within the company, Primark is always busy and there are always jobs to be done, which keeps you busy. Supervisors and Managers are all supportive and lovely to work for.

      Cons

      Primark only offer staff discount at christmas and it is only 10%, the uniform is a bit boring and uniform rules can be quite strict.
