Pros

great people and amazing clothes!! a lot to learn if you are first starting out in retail

Cons

horrible pay even with previous, relevant experience horrible music and uncomfortable shoes the process for promotion is idiotic. no one can tell you in a straight forward manner how much you will be paid and when. there is a lot of procrastination when it comes to this. you'll do the work, but will not get commensurate pay. too many titles. there is an illusion of promotion, when in reality, employees are just shifted around to 'keep up morale'.

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
