Primark reviews

No Bonus. (but colleagues do) No consistency with managers performance, leaving hard workers working extra hard. Retail hours, late nights, very little consistency. (like this in all retail) Some senior managers in stores have been in the buisness too long, old fashioned styles of management. Colleagues have too much power, some of the stupidest rules and agreements made because of the union. Makes some of them untouchable. Even senior HR sweep things under the carpet instead of dealing with the issues. Lazy lazy lazy people there to just get paid and do nothing, both managers and colleagues. People afraid to speak about others performance and things rarely change. Depends what store you're working in because the areas around are where the poeple are hired from (read between the lines with this comment, not all are bad obviously but the general culture of a store can be hugely affected by them)

I signed a contract to be on the first shift and open packages and stock the store with merchandise. The manager didn't like my job, then she moved me to cashier, with the second shift, moving all day, it was that or nothing, I hated my job at the cashier, they gave me 10% training, I didn't know many things and I had to ask and the managers didn't like that, some were rude and didn't go to the cashier to help me or took more than 5 minutes to get there, while the customers made faces and there were more than 15 customers in line, the payment system is not coordinated with the offers and the customers are somewhat rude and then, you have to ask the manager for help, because he is the only one who can change the prices, I had to ask my coworkers a lot of things, because I didn't know how to do a tax free or a cash refund with a card, they throw you to the lions without training, the store is very hot, they don't turn on the air conditioning, the customers complain, but that, I think is orders from the managers. Don't turn on the air conditioning, you can't even go to the bathroom, very rude clients, a lot of noise, stressful, the managers are rude, few are supportive, it's a third world job in the first world, low pay, for how they exploit you at work
