Hi I have just received a text from Primark, saying a complaint has been made about me and to report to HR before my next shift I only work one day a week!. It doesn't look genuine, do you think it is someone plaing a joke.? Or do they text you if a complaint has been made, just a bit concerned as I am always pleasant and polite

Well I also told them am not sure I would be available during the Christmas period and the lady said they don't allow vacations during that time. But I still got the job.


I hope they will still consider me then. I said there was the possibility of staying in Liverpool over the summer and just going home using 2 weeks holiday, it would suck not seeing my family much though. Congratulations on the job!

Tottenham Court Rd store is busy so that's why people may say it's bad. Personally I do not find ladieswear bad - remember that each department has sections like jeans, knitwear, t-shirs, sportswear, formal so it really depends where exactly do you work. You will also learn abut the range quicker than you think, so don't worry.
Of you were told on induction that this is your department then it will be your department most of the time, unless you sign up for overtime at another one.

I got the job, yay!
But when they phoned to tell me I was very surprised and forgot to ask any questions, like where the induction is, will they be emailing me this information??


Well done! They didn't tell me where my induction was either but i just assumed it was at Primark itself. She did tell me she would send an email nearer time with all information on about induction. My induction is on Tuesday and I still don't have an email though, hopefully it'll come on Monday. Which Primark will you be working at?

Inductions are always in your store, unless it's for the new store

Had a interview the other day, said i would be notified of my status in 7-10 days, been about 2 weeks haven't heard anything. Does anyone know how to find details of a store to check my status and if i should?
much appreciated

After two weeks of not hearing its most likely you've got the job and they're trying to fit shifts in, or your application is on hold or they're looking more into your application. I've heard that if you ring up to enquire about your application they automatically reject your application. No idea if it's true, but I wouldn't risk it.

Not true as far as I know but different stores can be doing differently
Yeah I'm not too sure either, but I read through this whole thread last month and I saw like two comments about it being true. No idea though
I applied for a temp position on 31 March ,
Usually I get the rejection email within 2 days lol this time I haven't received anything

I think I got my interview date 2-3 weeks after applying.

What are the best shoes to wear at primark, I don't have a uniform I just have to look smart so don't really want trainers, though I would prefer comfortable shoes?
