Pros

-you get to see the latest trends -some of your co-workers can be really nice

Cons

My experience at ZARA downtown Montreal was HORRIBLE, I am really not exagerating. Everytime I tell someone I have worked there, they are like OMG , you are so lucky! That is so not true, it is a beautiful store indeed but there are so many things needing to be fixed. You work for a shitty pay and you are exhausted at the end of the day. They make you work crazy shifts (I worked 10h on boxing day). The co-workers can either be extremely nice or extremely bitchy, as if there is no inbetween... The management is horrible, they are never happy with what you do, always want you to be better... They have exaggerated expectations and they treat their employees REALLY bad. I survived around a year there only because I needed money for university but I will never go back

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
