Pros

- Tests your limits (physically, mentally/stress) - Improves time management and organizational skills - Good benefits - Team building - Great staff - Build long term relationships - Fast-paced - Gives you critical skills to not only work for any retailer but also prepares you for other job opportunities outside of the fashion industry - If you work hard, you will be recognized and are able to move up in the company quite quickly

Cons

- Long hours on the floor - Can be extremely stressful - Physically/mentally draining at times - As in any retail environment, must deal with irate customers - Terrible discount - Long hours/black-out periods during holidays make it difficult to maintain work-like balance

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.
