Pros

Great to develop skills working in a fast paced retail environment. Great to work in visual to be able to freely be creative with merchandising to be able to increase sales Able to directly speak to head office and have an impact on product you store could receive. Great resources and tools, the company is very advanced.

Cons

Doesn't appreciate their staff. Head office expects the stores to work with minimal hours and even though the store made more money, they cut more hours expecting you to make more money with less hours. The sales floor is always a mess because of this. Managers are expected to open the store by themselves and go on break after the next manager comes in 6 hours later. Or alternatively close by themselves and could only go on their break after an hour before the opening manager leaves. Doesn't appreciate loyalty and hard work. Head office and HR are disrespectful and doesn't care what you have to say about being mistreated. Don't receive the proper training.

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.
