An interesting job

Pros

Learnt better leadership skills and how to problem solve when things came up. Staff discounts were always a bonus and I worked with some nice people. I made the job my own and learnt a lot about what I was capable of.

Cons

Found that managers and higher ups both in store and those you liaise with via phone/email definitely place a lot on your plate and have an expectation of “just get it done” even if you’ve tried everything you can. A lot of responsibility for not very high pay. Was taking work home with me and on days off would still be sending emails, messaging staff to help them, getting sent messages even late at night regarding work. I take full responsibility that I should’ve set a proper boundary but it seemed to be the way things were done. But hey some people live and breathe Zara. Definitely need more staff on rather than bare minimum to help keeps things moving at a steady pace.

Alright

Pros

As with most jobs the best things at zara are the people you work with. For a retail job you get paid fairly well!

Cons

Honestly? At times borderline slave labour. Everything is worked out by a productivity calculation that zara works by, that is never accurate and doesn't account for the many problems that can occur during your day. So you're always being reprimanded for "not making productivity". If you work at the fort location on a 40hrs contract you basically have no work life balance. Upper management have absolutely no understanding of how a typical day goes inside the stores.
