Pros

the job can get very boring but it all help towards paying university fees. Great atmosphere and the you will always make new friends. good as a frst time job but no real career drive unless that what you like !

Cons

Generally the job can get very boring but what do you expect from a retail job, very target driven and not really customer focused, no real attention to detail. Though I do appreciate a job and primark was essentially my first student job so I cannot really complain.

Pros

I met some really good friends in Primark. Working in this messy and busy store does give you some great experience. If you can work in Primark, you can work in any shop.

Cons

No staff discount. No double time (except an extra £1 or something for working on Boxing Day and 2nd January). No Christmas night out paid for. No uniform allowance. Extremely messy customers. Many of the customers are disrespectful to staff and do things they would never do in other stores. Noticeable divide between staff and management.
