Pros

I honestly love just about everything about working at Primark. My Supervisors and Managers are extremely helpful and I feel like I can always go to them for support or help with any issue. As prior to applying to Primark, I had recieved mixed reviews from previous employees from various locations across the UK, I am very pleased to serve Primark and it really exceeded my expectations.

Cons

Standing all day. This is the only fault I can think of about my job.

Pros

I was a night retail operative in Oxford Street West - pros: - Awesome team mates, who sadly left too soon due to the staff turnover being so high - Fast pressured environment means you are really stretched to your boundaries and can show this on your cv for future employers - My manager was awesome in fact one of the best I've had so far - Meeting new colleagues and working with different departments

Cons

- understaffed, no AC on top floor - very high workload especially on weekends and Xmas time. With no pay rise - Unpaid but good length breaks - stock management is poor, - Little time but too much work
