Pros

Opening the store - opening day was fast paced, exciting and fun

Cons

Management play favourites, favouritism based on best personality and not work quality. HR hired mass amount of staff for opening and promised all casuals 15+ hours a week then when initial hype and buzz died have out 3 hrs to majority of casuals, leaving them no choice but to find new jobs. (Many believe they knew his would be the case on hiring) Power struggles and cliquey groups established through management giving desirable jobs (replen) to favourite staff staff. This caused the favourites to believe they had more authority/more important then other staff and became very condescending. Stock in store was below average quality and completely wrong season! (Leftovers from European Zara) customers often commented on/complained about this.

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.
