Pros

- You get to meet new people and make new friends -First dibs on good items (new season/sale) especially if you're there full-time, you get to see everything. -Discounts (?) on top of sale items -Good look on the CV as it's an international brand - you can raise chances of getting better opportunities in other places or even get into ZARA in another country (heard it's just bad in NZ but everywhere else is fine - so you take your pick) -Good diversity in staff coming from different backgrounds - culturally, and professionally.

Cons

- VERY low pay considering the amount of physical and mental stress. - Extremely appalling management in the NZ team. - You only get 25% discount after 3 months of working there. And you have to wait another 6 months to get "Christmas Benefits" -during the Christmas period. (though I know some people who didn't receive this even if they've been there for over 6 months. - Health and safety issues especially in the stockroom - Management is very unorganized and only tries to look pretty in front of HR or head of AUS and NZ. - Lack of growth in NZ (for now) as there's only one store- but still I think the top managers (SM, ASM, OPM) choose and pick favorites for those who they want to move up. - Lack of respect and gratitude towards staff members - Many more CONS than pros

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.
