Worst thing
Get treated like shit there, managers don’t listen to you, you ask for help and get nothing. They don’t check on you to see if everything is ok.

Best thing
I work with some great people. Managers were all formerly sales assistants so they know the problems that arise. Plenty of opportunities to give feedback and receive recognition
Worst thing
Angry customers! Sometimes manager shortages mean there is a long wait before someone arrives to assist.

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
