      Good

      Retail operative
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You get public exposure if you work on the checkouts and alot of people recognise you even when you didnt know them.. its fun dealing with customer and taking cash and you get to organise the store by tidying the clothing Alot of the colleagues are very helpful and this job provides excellent social interaction as you meet other young girls and boys and maybe even date them.

      Cons

      The biggest drawback is that you cant take even a single day off in november/december even if you are sick. Secondly, you only get 3month contract initially which will not be extended most of the times. (especially if you are on a student visa) The supervisors will keep a keen eye on you and will dig out all of your negative actions and report them to the HR manager so if you make mistakes... you are going down, even if they were minor mistakes. The supervisors never highlight anything good so try to please them with gifts or something... so you can to avoid them targeting you. Last but not the least... Primark blabers about social responsibility but their suppliers are involved in genocide, child labour, exploiting the poor in third world countries and its suppliers have unsafe work conditions for their workers

      Summer Job

      Sales assistant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Helpful Managers for my first real job really assisted me in getting into the business and understanding what I needed to get done for each day.

      Cons

      The HR was too in your face about everything, they wanted to talk too much and sometimes would stop you from finishing what you hoped to get done for the day.
