Pros

-Lots of potential to learn about the (fast) fashion industry -Cool perks like merch discounts

Cons

-Micromanaging and abusive management/supervisors who seemed to usually be in a pissy mood play favourites for better roles and get annoyed when you request time off for something important (e.g., scheduling a shift for me when I had a school/university exam and requested time off and getting mad when I mentioned this) -Lack of training in other areas (if you are assigned to one section to organize displays/change rooms, you will not be trained on cash, etc). -Freakishly early truck shipment/stock weekly shifts that are mandatory -Unfriendly supervisors and co-workers -Weird conservative far right policies like wearing proper uniforms and not tying hair, also a bag check at the end of each shift

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.
