Pros

As full time there are some decent benefits available

Cons

Though the floor managers are amazing the higher ups were horrible. I the store manager and assistant store manager were the worst. But the department managers and floor supervisors did make up for it

Pros

Very few pros to working here

Cons

This place is more like a school than a workplace. So many pathetic silly rules such as having to ask a manager if you can leave the shop floor to go to the toilet. Snitchy and back stabing managers. If they see you doing the slightest thing wrong they will snitch on you to a senior manager. Will be nice to your face but will be slagging you off to other managers/staff. Will moan at you for every minor thing. Wont tell off certain staff member who are standing around doing nothing. Are now watching the cctv more often to make sure people are working. Will bully certain staff members especially those who talk back or if they have a so called attitude. There are a high number of managers at this store who are useless at their job. Most managers hide away in the office so till staff are having to wear headsets to contact the managers which holds up the queue. There is no team spirit. Everybody sits on their own in the canteen during lunch breaks aside from a few people. Its like a library. The health and safey is shockingly bad. Boxs stacked too high, rails and rails of stock in the stock room blocking the walkway. An equipment room which has bars all over the floor so people slip on them and fall over. Air con that barely works. Staff moral at this store is as bad and low as it has ever been. There is no banter at all aside from a few people. People who have been here a long time are now looking to leave as they can no longer take it. Whatever you do DO NOT APPLY FOR A JOB AT PRIMARK.

Pros

Seeing the stock as soon as it comes in and having first dibs on hot items

Cons

Pretty Much Everything. Management very b**chy. And lazy. No air conditioning the whole 10 years I worked there. despite being told ‘waiting for a part’. Shop floor measured 30degrees. No air flow. yet we were expected to just get on whilst managers sat in their miraculously working air conditioned offices along with extra fans.
