Pros

The clothes are absolutely gorgeous. If they like you, you get a good amount of hours for a part time employee.

Cons

I'm not quite sure if its specifically the industry or the store itself, but you have no value as a human being at this store. You are overworked and underpaid, different employees make different wages, but its not based on experience, education etc, but rather random factors. Employees who started working before me make less than I do (you read that right). Women's department is completely catty, very much high school politics. Everyone starts as a part time employee which is really just a cheap way to make sure they can wait longer to give benefits (which many people who work over 40 hours here don't receive)/

Pros

My coworkers and Managers felt like a family I felt supported and was able to make good connections At the time I was there my managers made it feel less daunting to ask questions or come to them if I had concerns about customers . I feel like if I stayed with Zara longer I would have been able to move within the company easily.

Cons

Air conditioning didn't work while I was there.

Pros

There aren’t many pros, pretty chill coworkers I suppose

Cons

Managment is a mess, filled with people who really don’t know what they’re doing and they have empolyees who’s sole purpose is being on their phones and not working, the “GM” is a wreck and doesn’t know how to properly soeak to people as she believes she’s above everyone, and regional isn’t much better
