fun to talking to customers from all around the world
sales/stock/cashier (Current Employee), las vegas nv – May 13, 2013
Pros: one hour lunch
Cons: work only 25 hour a week
learning about new product coming in,getting direction on how to merchandise it by manager, hardest part of job would be communicating with forum people , but getting to know people from around the world and trying your best to communicate is the most enjoyable.

This is a very fun place to work
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

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.

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
