      Pros

      There are barely any pros.

      Cons

      I work at Primark now and none of the managers can ever seem to agree on anything. They refuse to work around your schedule when your availability changes, and expect you to do the absolute most whilst changing their minds. If you put stock out they want you to put it back, if you put it back they want you to bring it out. You can never please them. Poor hours, decent pay but not all that.

      One of the worst experiences of my life...

      Pros

      Healthcare, PTO, and SOME decent people There are no other pros about this place. It's horrible to work at.

      Cons

      Managers don't know how to do their jobs. There is no training, you're just expected to know how to work. You get a crash course in folding and then that's it. There's no couple of weeks for training like most places do. You don't shadow anyone, supervisors and employees do everything, and managers are for the most part useless. Oh...and if someone calls out in your department, nobody is coming in their place.
