Best thing
Being a full timer you get a lot of responsibility which can be good. You get regular breaks if working 9 hours
Worst thing
Store manager can be overbearing and is not a people person.

Best thing
I work weekends so it’s basically all students and we all talk to each other and are really friendly. Primark’s the type of place where you never know what happens so it’s always something new every day
Worst thing
Customers are sometimes rude. Customers are crazy here

Best thing
There is plenty of space for progression if you are willing to learn and sacrifice some of your free time
Worst thing
As a retail store the number of theft rising drastically, including instances of physical violence.
Other would be lack of respect from the side of customers. They act different while shopping in Primark vs different brands.Primark Employee, August 2023

Best thing
The best things are the people, and a few friendly managers at the store. You get 15% discount too.
Worst thing
Some managers can be overbearing and nitpick. Sometimes you get put on a zone that no one has been on for the whole day so it is a complete mess and you are expected to clear it on your own. Sometimes you get assigned more than one zone which is impossible to keep tidy alone.

Best thing
the people and the pay. very generous breaks
Worst thing
the lighting in there and how loud it is makes me always have a headache and feel sick every single shift. i only received training for tills, when i'm doing anything else i feel lost and embarrassed. you aren't allowed to email in sick you have to call, and it needs to be an hour before your shift- a real nightmare when i was in hospital and just wanted to sleep all day

Worst thing
Treated terribly by managers - as if you’re their slave.
Constantly scheduled for shifts over contract hour and during school hours (student)
Terrified to ever say anything to management about shifts as they act as though you deserve nothing more in life but to work for them ever waking minutePrimark Shop assistant, January 2023

Best thing
The job is easy and the pay is just above minimum wage and the other people who retail assistant
Worst thing
Managers it's that simple they don't treat people with respect don't care about their staff whenever you go to make a complaint they switch it so they don't have to take responsibility and their communication skills are so bad I wonder how they get promoted they are disorganised and lazy and rely on their staff to do their job for them and now Primark has got rid the supervisor role which was payed hourly to a new manager role which is on a salary so in order to pay for more salaries they don't employ more retail assistants so we end up having to work harder why managers don't work and complain why things don't get done in time
Primark Retail assistant, December 2022

Best thing
Early hours, no customers. Left to get on with my job. Relatively little hassle

Best thing
pay is good. job is fairly easy and staff are friendly apart from managers
Worst thing
some managers are extremely disconnected with assistants. they can be extremely rude and if you complain about management nothing gets done. in my case - after i complained and many others the manager ended up getting promoted which shows how they don’t care what us assistants have to say.
