What people are saying about sick pay at Primark

  • Best thing

    Pay

    Worst thing

    Managers, stupid rules, very stricked, mean a bitchy college's, no time to breath, not allowed to talk, timed bathroom breaks, told off for very little things and the heater is never on so always freezing

    1.3

    Retail assistant at Primark, April 2025

  • Best thing

    Friendly staff, good pay

    Worst thing

    Unpaid breaks, managers can be terrible, customers treat store poorly, won't give out extra hours on contract easily to existing staff

    6.6

    Retail assistant at Primark, February 2025

  • Best thing

    - Available overtime often to pick up for extra hours.
    - Chill environment with management (usually) and easy tasks.
    - Never have had any issues with holiday booking.

    Worst thing

    - Having to work public holidays if you work weekends.
    - Unpaid breaks.
    - Commute without a car is a pain, but that’s store specific.
    - Not enough support to prevent verbal abuse against staff as Primark customers can be rude
