Pros

worked at weekends as I had college in the week. Got bonus at Christmas and summer. Time went quick as it was busy, never not anything to do. Good for earning quick cash every month. Would recommend only working there a couple of years.

Cons

Some managers treat you like trash, but some were nice. Just depends on your look or what floor you work on. Usually pressured into doing overtime and made to feel guilty if you can't do it. Some customers can be rude and disrespectful as you only work in "primark". Sometimes can feel you are just a number there as employees come and go all the time as most are uni student. Managers always have their favourites too they have banter with. Can feel like your in school the way managers speak to you sometimes.
