Horrid.

Pros

The clothes are absolutely gorgeous. If they like you, you get a good amount of hours for a part time employee.

Cons

I'm not quite sure if its specifically the industry or the store itself, but you have no value as a human being at this store. You are overworked and underpaid, different employees make different wages, but its not based on experience, education etc, but rather random factors. Employees who started working before me make less than I do (you read that right). Women's department is completely catty, very much high school politics. Everyone starts as a part time employee which is really just a cheap way to make sure they can wait longer to give benefits (which many people who work over 40 hours here don't receive)/

Pros

-Teaches you how to multitask and work effectively in a busy environment -Never a dull moment -opportunity of career growth.

Cons

-Understaffed yet HR is unwilling to try and persuade staff to stay so the majority of skilled employees leave. -Employees are treated as disposable. -Hierarchy style of running store only created tension between employees. -Trading Hours are unreasonable and management mistreat employees on a regular basis. -Alot of penny pinching towards employees- no christmas party despite posting record profits every year.

Tiring and boring, a construction work place for girls and a war field for fashion store.

Pros

They appreciate if you can work hard. Every thing about working in Zara is working hard. A lot more to do than a normal fashion store. Since it's always a mess, so it can keep you busy for hours just to try to keep one shelf tidy.

Cons

Hard body work for girls. It can be very boring and extra tiring when you are a new comer. Since they give harder work on newer employees.
