Night-shift Nightmares Primark Stratford Wesfields

Pros

If you're anti social then night shifts are great as you can focus on your one job and not talk to anyone the entire time. In fact bubbly and happy chatty people almost aren't welcome as they annoy all the zombie faced co-workers.

Cons

The pay is atrocious for the hours that you do and does not justify everyone's hard work. Being paid under £7 for night work is so wrong and they seem to be completely baffled and constantly irritated by the lack of staff and people leaving the job as quickly as they started. The bottom line is if you don't respect your staff and pay them a justified amount then they'll leave.Night work isn't the most desirable job in the world, but if it was £10 - £12 an hour you would keep your staff longer and they would work harder. Don't tell me that Primark can't afford to cough up the cash when they make millions a day. No matter how massive your company is, if you pay peanuts you still get monkeys.

Pros

great atmosphere. interaction with customers. very comfortable working environment. our contributions and ideas are taken into consideration.

Cons

Less career opportunity. difficult to advance a career in primar.it remains just a "part-time" job to many rather that a development process.
