Pros

The only pros is that you can easily make friends with fellow workers on floor or cash

Cons

The most unorganized work environment I've ever been to! I got reffered by a friend so pretty much got hired on the spot but I specifically told them the days I needed off and that my availability might change because of certain family situations. They gave me the ok and told me I wouldn't be working till the week after. I then get a text from my friend saying that I am working on the same week I got hired. No email, no call, like how did they expect me to know and come in? I told the manager there what had happened and I got zero response and got scheduled the day I requested off and got accepted for. It was just tossed aside and I got assigned more work. I t was a very tough first day since two people didn't show and all the pressure was on me but I'm still learning and I wasn't even getting my questions answered like what's my employee number or if I need a walkie. They also denied my change in availability which honestly wasn't that bad( I just asked for opening shifts on the weekends till 3pm so it's still 5hrs which is the minimum for me) but no they put me on for more than 8 hrs almost everyday leaving me to be home at 11pm. I was getting told two different things at the same time not knowing who to listen to. Even the store layout was confusing. I just tried to do my job and help customers with the knowledge I had on the first day. Overall, don't work here unless you want to be under a lot of stress and want to go home crying Most people I talked to were quitting anyways, even my friend and I think that already says a lot

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
