Zara reviews

Zara is a very stressful place of work, it's constantly busy so you literally cannot be tired. You often have to deal with rude customers. Some managers are great, but most of them are rude, unpleasant people to work with. They show off their 'power' treating sales assistant in a bad way so if you don't stand up for yourself you may get bullied easily. Managers and sales assistant speak Spanish all the time, so if you're not Spanish good luck, Spanish are also preferred when it comes to career progression. You won't have a work/life balance as with 30 hours I was already feeling like I was spending my whole life there. Shift patterns are bad : 5 days a week 6hours a day for 30 hours contract and 5 days a week 4 hours a day for 20 hours contract which is just ridiculous. You are not allowed to talk to your coworkers otherwise you get told off. You get file notes for no reason.

Most the cons of working here are due to the managers -They are really rude/don't care about their employees. -Work environment isn't good- employees are unhappy, health and safety regulations are only really applied on the shopfloor where others can see (in the back/staff area/stockroom it's chaos) -High staff turn over (people quitting left, right and centre) -If you're working 7hrs or less you only get 20mins break (you have to work 8hrs or more for 1hr lunch and 20min break) -Constantly understaffed (I wonder why...) resulting in you being given tasks that usually multiple people are doing. Which results in all the employees being.. -Constantly stressed (and it definitely effects the working environment)
