Primark thread

Does anyone know how its like working at the current oxford street primark branch? !! What are the breaks like? also is it possible to change hours in induction?

Someone i know recieved a call from a guy who said he was head of recruitment at Primak and he told her they had over recruited and were calling/emailing some people who recieved the job to tell them that they dont have the job anymore :s
Would like to have some opinions, could this be a prank?? or has anyone else experienced this?

A large company like primark wouldnt make a mistake as big as this. Did your friend get rejected when he got the call?
And Primark HR wouldnt have the time to call everyone. I'd think they would just send a generic reject email.
Plus if they overhired, people like me who have been waiting for a response would have recieved a reject email by now...

she actually got the job a few days ago and he was calling to tell her she was going to lose the job basically, she thought it may be genuine because he knew some details but just thought i'd post here and see, shes going to email the HR lady who emailed her about the job though so we'll see.
Also he must of said those who didnt recieve a reply were unlikely to get the job if this is a prank its a very sick one

Cool thanks, I don't actually know who my manager is xP haha. But I'll ask my supervisor next time I go in cause he's pretty cool and isn't scary lol.

okay, cause like last Sunday was my first day and I ended up staying 20-25 mins extra till some man stood on top of the escalators and was like 'everyone can go home now' lol. How long did it take you till you felt confident and like you actually knew what you were doing? lol

Really, if you're not sure about anything, no matter how trivial it seems, just ask someone! They'll understand, all new people need to learn from someone, and hopefully your colleagues are as helpful and welcoming as mine were. When it's 5.15, you should definitely ask what time you're supposed to go, since staying back that late seems a bit unfair on you.

I felt confident on recovery after about 2/3 weekends, since it's just tidying up really. (It's annoying when they move everything round after you've memorised where everything goes though ) But it took me over a month before I would venture up to the stock room by myself, and I refused to take phone calls up until last week! Still, I guess it depends on your personality and confidence in general. I've been working there nearly 3 months and I definitely feel settled in now

Anyone working on the ground floor women's department?

i am!! its a shame because i wanted to work on tills/fitting room because thats the most fun sections i've worked in but hopefully it won't be too bad. My induction day is the 21st july have you had yours?

Hi every one
How do you know what department you'll be working in?
Are you told at induction? Or when you actually start the job? As all my contract says is "your department will be second floor cash desk" Does this mean I'll be working on a cash register?

Yeah i think that does mean cash register because i've got the same, if you were put anywhere else they would say because my friend got the kids department. I think they are going to tell us at induction or later on when we actually start the job! hope i've helped

Thanks Hun!
What store will you be working at? And when is your induction? I'm going to be working in both the Oxford street east and Oxford street west branches and my induction is next week Monday (16th July)
