Pros

none that I can think of

Cons

All you can think of: Employees are disposable to this company, and they make you notice that every day. No nice spaces for breaks, no supplies (coffee, tea, microwave, seats), the lockers are like the ones in prison I imagine, no propper space to change clothes or storage something, bathrooms and general cleaning of the store is AWEFUL, walls are not painted and general building maintenance is depressing. Salary is the lowest that can be, but the expectations over you are super high. Schedules....omg what to say, you are not the owner of your time anymore when working for Zara, schedules are planned just a week ahead, and even tho they are changed. No paid overtime of course, so they give you and then take hours from you as they, or your manager, wish. ZERO training or feedback from your manager, I spent my first 3 months without any word from her about my performance or "career" prospects. You also have ZERO benefits, just a shitty discount of 25% (could be 40/50 guys c'mon, you pay to fabricate some items in Asia 0,05 € I saw the spreadsheets). And when you are not useful anymore then they do not renovate your contract, so the first year you have 2 contracts that can or cannot be renovated, so they never do a layoff and paid what you deserve, they just discard you. It's an awful company, a terrible work culture, even worst environment (cos they foster it), the worst pay and the actual job is to fold clothes 4 or 5 hours a day. If you have anything better to do with your time, DO IT, do not join Zara.

Pros

Coworkers band together due to the constant disrespect form managers at every store in the GTA.

Cons

Terrible management, absolutely disrespectful. Terrifying to think these are the people making it up the ladder at Zara.
