Zara reviews

First of all, if you're not in good physical shape, don't even think about it! I lost two pounds during the first week. You have to run up and down the stairs for every single customer check. Closing the store is a pain! It gets completely trashed and sometimes we have to stay until 12am or even later. The management doesn't communicate well with the employees. The 15% discount is ridiculous.

Hated having to wear the uniform, it is boring and drab, manager was cold, rude and condescending, clique-y environment, I felt the environment was very high-school and immature. There is a pretty high turn-over because people burn out - the work is incredibly monotonous, there is always SO MUCH cleaning up to do after customers... honestly, there was very little that was fun about this job to me. There's a lot of pressure to do everything perfectly and people gossip about each other. I guess the co-workers can make it or break such an environment and I didn't enjoy working with mine. The pay ($9/hr in 2009) plus the measly discount (15%, which is just tax) meant working very hard for very little.
