Pros

Colleagues are friendly, as of most retail store people are. Very willing to help and give support. Staff discount at many different retailers. Fast-paced environment, plenty of things to learn about. New arrivals twice every week, new merchandise everytime you work! Jobs are very specialized. Sales assistants don't have to do cashiering and vice versa. They even have cleaners to clean up the outlet floors.

Cons

More than one manager per outlet. Sometimes might have conflicting interests and instructions. No training for temporary staff, which might cause overall service standard to drop. No eating or drinking (even for candy) during shift. Hard to remember or check merchandise because of the high frequency of new arrivals.

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.
