Primark - Part Time Weekend Contract (8 Hours)

Pros

Most of the team are quite friendly and happy to help Love working on the tills!

Cons

Failed to pay a number of us on payday, we had to wait until the next payday Asked to stay back during your shift rather than being asked in advance I had to stay beyond my contracted hours weekly Very disorganised management Spend hours doing 'recovery' e.g putting things back where they're supposed to be when customers have moved them, or putting things back from the returns rail, this is more difficult if you don't work in the returns department and don't know where anything is! A lot of favouritism which in turns brings discrimination You're given orders by your manager, supervisor as well as other retail assistants in your department, who are you supposed to listen to? Not enough people to work with in your department - there's a very high turnover rate for a reason. Lack of professionalism, a lot of inappropriate behaviour

Pros

Free choice of hours and shift, you can manage your time

Cons

Everything, it drives you crazy, customers, managers, the floor and the baskets. It's the chaos, lack of organization. No rewards, no incentive. Weak motivation.
