Pros

love their clothes, some co-workers were very nice, there were some sales incentives (team-based), never bored because there's always something to do

Cons

bad employee discount (15%), bad hours, sales incentives mediocre, culture was still very competitive and lots of gossiping and passive-aggressive behaviours from co-workers, managers boss you around, expected to move at lightning speed, quite stressful

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.
