the worst company in the world
sales (Former Employee), Canada – December 6, 2012
Pros: nothing
Cons: no respect
A store and head office run by uneducated snotty middle management girls who refer to the employees as "stupid brainless people". There is no respect towards the employee, they preach about safety when the backroom is prepared for accidents (the emergency exit is blocked by boxes and trash).

– January 9, 2013

They pay min wage, and want you work like they pay a max wage. They treat you like a child and management are snotty. I have heard management call employees idiots behind their backs and cutomers stupid at several stores I worked at, so I guess it comes from the top management, because it's the same everywhere you go. The turn over there is greater than any other retail store I have ever worked at and I have worked for a few. They don't give you hours, so some times you find yourself going to other stores, where emplyees quit.

Sales Associate (Former Employee), New York, NY – May 6, 2013
Pros: time went fast because it was always busy
Cons: no health benefits
A typical day at work would begin with enthusiasm and with the manager orders. I would take out the new merchandise out and make sure that all employees were on their assigned area, and that they would go on their breaks on time. Something I enjoyed was meeting new people from different parts of the country. The fun part of my job was getting projects – more... that were challenging. – less

Great Retail Experience
Sales Associate- Holiday Seasonal (Former Employee), Philadelphia, PA – April 10, 2013
Pros: generous lunch breaks in comparison to most retail.
Cons: no health benefits, limited hours
The Zara's Men's Department management is very organized and is very different from the women's department management. The Men's team was great to work with. The Men's team got along very well and usually runs a lot more smoothly in comparison to the women's team.

Strengths:

- Great managers that lead by example, and are fun at the same time.
- Not – more... as chaotic as women's department.
- Good team.
- Connecting with customers.

Weaknesses:

- The occasional difficult customer.
- Slow days

Overall experience was good for me. I learned a lot and met a lot of people during my time with Zara. – less

Responsible (Former Employee), Sydney – March 26, 2013
Pros: opportunities for growth, push on training, the fashion
Cons: long hours, many management levels, new in country
Between serving every and all customers, a great emphasis was put on training for potential management. I had a great opportunity for that, providing me with the visual merchandising aspect I had pushed for. Being so many levels of management though made it easy to get 'stuck', but with new stores opening and these teams being split, there was chances – more... to shine.
Being such big company lead to team unsatisfaction. Having a lot of staff on meant not many tasks for each.
I learnt there isn't always a reward for effort, but to shine the brightest will give you the best opportunities when you deserve them. – less
