Pros

Plenty of extra shifts if you wanted/needed them. Easy interview process as Primark will hire just about anyone. High turnover so potentially easy to progress within the store.

Cons

Minimum wage. Poor training (or lack thereof). Expect you to work holidays, I.e. Christmas eve, boxing day, new years eve: not very flexible on this despite the fact I was a student away from home. You have to deal with alot of work, constantly despite the poor pay, but really what more can you expect from working there. No store discounts or other benefits apart from a 10% discount for a week either side of xmas: that's it.

Pros

You get lots of PTO up front as a part timer and can gain flex hours overtime. Get a 50 cent raise every six months.

Cons

Was told during onboarding that if a Christian comes into the store spreading the gospel, I have to kick them out. This includes the mention of the Jesus without the church invite. Managers claim its rude and if a customer does it, they get booted. Faced harassment from a customer and management didn't let me switch too a different department. Extremely high turnover rate and managers don't replace them, making your job more stressful during peak hours. Hard to use PTO. Little to no training. Too many bachelor and master holding part timers who get lucked out of moving up in the company. Managers give some people no task while pilling on multiple tasks on one person. Too many managers to deal with (and usually never find) and the full timers make you do the dirty work while they "unpack boxes". Its a pro-LGBT anti christian company. If they want to be pro-LGBT, than more power to them. But anti-Christian is discriminatory and unnecessary.
