Pros

You are supposed to be able to run the department like it is your own store. Possible to gain a lot of experiences in retail world.

Cons

If you are not telling everything happening to store to your regional corporate managers, even you are putting your coworkers under the bus, you won't have a good experiences as a manager in this company. You have to be really dedicated and flexible for their demands.

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
