Flexible and fun. - Customer Assistant Primark Employee Review

Very, very flexible hours. I'm only on a 4 hour contract (which I wanted, there were many others like 16 hours and full-time available) because i'm a student so all I HAVE to do are my 4 hours on a Sunday. There is however a huge amount of overtime available, I've worked up to 30 hours during the holidays with the potential to do more. On these extra shifts I can choose what times and departments I want to work on, working anywhere from 4 hours to 12 (anything above 4.5 hours, you get decent breaks for.) I've worked in almost every department of the store. We have enough staff members to keep the store tidy, everyone has designated areas and it's rare in my large, busy and sometimes hectic store (Westwood Cross) to see anything on the floor EVER, and almost always the tables are neat and stocked up too. My managers and every single colleague i've spoken to are all absolutely lovely, my shifts including the night restocking shifts always go fast because when it's quiet you can talk and work at your own pace. It's honestly very rare that I encounter a nasty customer, in my 7 months as till staff i've had some wonderful conversations with some of the loveliest people i've ever met. There has only been one customer that made a complaint about a transaction I was involved in and that was a one off, someone looking for attention and some form of in-store spending compensation. People on here seem to complain a lot about the uniform not being provided/paid for but honestly my trousers (Primark) lovely, quality stretchy material cost me £7, my tops (Primark) plain black button up short-sleeved tops came to £5 each I think, and my shoes (Primark) very comfy, plain black flat shoes I think £4. It's hardly a huge stretch even for an unemployed student, you could literally buy charity shop clothes until your first pay comes. It's nothing flashy or elaborate.
