Pros

- i suppose you'd get to see all the new stock before anyone else?

Cons

-£6.60 ph pay at over 21 years old - (in London as well) - the training and induction day was run by a woman who had only been working at Primark for 4 months herself. - even after agreeing hours at interview and on a follow-up call the day before training, they still managed to present me with a completely different contract and proceeded to tell me the original hours i had applied for were no longer in existence. - I then told them I did not wish to work there anymore and did not sign any contract/ receive uniform, etc. No further contact for a month. - Received a 3rd (?!) warning letter out of the blue, summoning me to a meeting (that was on the day before I received said letter) to discuss discontinuing my employment due to absence. - Sent me email the next day telling me to return staff cards and electronic equipment because my employment has been terminated. - Sent me an email the day after telling me I still to fill out my details on the pension scheme. - I do not, and did not ever work for them, I have a job elsewhere, at the place I rang during the training and induction day once I realised just how unorganised they were. They need to communicate within their departments and get it together.
