Pros

You get to work with some amazing and very diverse teams. Some managers and staff are fun to work with and very supportive. I got to meet some of my friends through work who I am still in touch with after leaving the company.

Cons

The company expects you to be able to act as a general manager, operational manager and support other departments while you are in the middle of solving a customer issue. And also trying to cover shifts for 5 employees who called in sick or didn't show up to work. The company doesn't provide the departments with enough labour hours in order to run the floor according to their "standards", so the managers end up doing most of the work as floor staff.

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.
