  Primark Retail assistant, August 2023

  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

  9.8

  Primark Retail assistant, August 2023

• 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.

  3.5

  Primark Department Manager, 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.

  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

  7.3
