Pros

Can meet some nice people. If you work well managers are happy to praise you for your good work

Cons

Sometimes workload is strenuous. Can be a hostile environment if you are new. Sometimes you get left to do your job with no guidance. I had no training to tell me about my job role. Just was told what to do and then left to it. Poor training and guidance bad if you have never been in retail before. Also had to take time off for bereavement. They said unless it's immediate family no can do! Which is unacceptable!

Pros

Plenty of overtime, other employees easy to get a long with, fast pace enviroment, dependant on department.

Under 18 pay only 4.26, dont feel valued as an employee, supervisors under a lot of stress which is taken out on employees, pressure employees into over time. No benefit at all when working at primark.
