Merchandising
Senior Visual Merchandiser (Current Employee), New York, NY – February 13, 2013
Pros: constant learning
Cons: lack of training and employee value
As a merchandiser you work at a high pace, constantly changing floor set, introduce new items and researching the industry. Every single move you make, causes the company money. You have to be a problem solver and constantly be on your toes. Shift generally start at 5 am.

Place that I have worked at to keep money inflows on an ongoing basis.
General Hand (Current Employee), Melbourne VIC – February 8, 2013
A typical day at work involves performing various tasks.
These tasks involve taking out rubbish, hanging and pricing of clothes. Also, there is a need to fold some clothes. Also, the opening and stocking of clothes into boxes.
There is time for a short break at lunch time.
I probably have mainly learnt aspects to do with working in the retail environment.
Management – more... in general is fairly good to work for but there is not a great deal of contact in day to day operations. The exception is stockroom management where there is a fair deal of contact.
The coworkers in general have been fairly friendly and approachable but again there has not been a great deal of contact.
The most difficult part of the job has been the folding of clothes.
The more interesting and sometimes enjoyable part of the job has been working within a mainly female dominated environment. – less

Friendly and busy place to work
Cashier (Former Employee), Edinburgh – January 17, 2013
Pros: finished by 8 o´clock.
Cons: some days could be quite long.
A typical day would include helping customers, keeping the store tidy and being responsable for sales transactions.
I learnt alot about merchandising and fashion trends.
The management were always on hand if there was a problem and very helpful.
My co-workers were very friendly and ready to pitch in wherever needed.
The hardest part of the job was keeping – more... up with customers requests on busy days.
The most enjoyable part was helping customers find the right outfit or present and having them leave happy with their purchase. – less

productive and fun workplace
Accessories junior designer (Former Employee), a coruña,spain – December 23, 2012
This is a deal breaker... you have to feel it heart and soul.
You should be exceptionally creative and independent.
What they look for in their employees are:
Passion-Happiness-Professionalism-Commitment- Creativity-
Hard work-Honesty-Focus-Loyalty-Spirit-Intelligence- Pride-Curiosity
A typical day at work is dynamic and eclectic,you deal with changes – more... all the time and have to focus in the last movement.
My duties included:
- Looking for the last trends,colors and materials,developing collection and its tech files,
-International shopping and travelling (fabric selection,contact supplier,production and sampling trips to China. Preparation of the collection of the prototypes).

Product development, permanent contact with Asian and Indian suppliers,besides Spanish and Turkish.
-Technical specs

We were a team of 10 people,we worked as a joined group helping each other and improving our skills.
Our head management tried to bring out the best of us.

The hardest part of the job is to achieve the real need of the costumers, their wishes and what the would like to find at the store. However, it was very rewarding when this task was acomplished.
The most enjoyable part is the creative procces when a new collection is developed. – less

fast paced busy work environment dedicated to the fashion world
Sales associate (Current Employee), Chicago, IL – November 20, 2012
Pros: employee discount, long lunches
Cons: no benefits nor healthcare (part-time)
On any typical day at ZARA there is always something to do and keep busy from the moment of clocking in to the moment our shift ends. Every day there are tasks to do and that need to be done, sometimes they are long projects that can take up to a couple hours, sometimes only a few minutes. I get along with everyone from management to my co-workers, – more... everyone is very nice and friendly. The hardest part of the job is getting tasks/projects done while at the same time providing the best customer service to our customers, definitely need to be able to multi-tasked but it's possible and I've learned to do that while attending to all my customers' needs. The most enjoyable part of my job is being able to have a strong teamwork relationship with my coworkers, I enjoy working with them and getting things done in a proficient and timely matter. – less
