Pros

One of the great pros in working in Primark is the good people that you will meet and work with. The company takes care of the employees having things such as a microwave, fridge and even a dishwasher. Above all they pay better than other places -not by much, but better.

Cons

I would say that one of the cons in working for Primark is how linear the job is, this is in terms of doing the same thing over and over; an example of this is, I was put in the womens department and for the whole day I was folding hundreds of t-shirts again and again.

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.
