Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Tysons Corner, VA – February 23, 2018
you have to work like a machine because they need more people to handle their store and they have only 4 people working where they need 10 people....................................

Poor work place
Cashier (Current Employee) – New Orleans, LA – February 9, 2019
Poor management, a typical work day is busy with very workers, Feel like I'm being over worked for very little pay. Communication is horrible. Management does poorly on scheduling. Work place is very cold and workers are not allowed to wear sweaters.

Not a great place to work
Cashier (Former Employee) – Chicago, IL – February 8, 2019
From the beginning of my employment there, I knew this would not be a great experience. The managers only uphold the “administrative” aspects of their job and not the quality of the work environment. Moreover, the employees, due to managerial incompetence, have nasty attitudes to both guest and other employees. What’s more disturbing, for me, HR and my store manager were very chummy to the point where I questioned impartiality for my behalf. All in all, it is a very toxic place to work!
Pros
Commission pay
Cons
Everything else
Poor work place
Sales Associate (Former Employee) – New York, NY – February 8, 2019
Did not receive training for my position , I did not really learn anything that I did not learn at my previous job at Abercrombie & Fitch. Management really was not much of help. The culture was not what I thought it would be.
Horrible place to work
Visual Merchandiser (Former Employee) – King of Prussia, PA – February 7, 2019
The worst stores I’ve ever worked at in my retail career have been Zara stores. Upper management shows favoritism. No room for advancement. If management sees your a confident strong employee and have potential to be higher in your career they view you as a threat and will do everything they can to bring you down.. to try and make themselves seem bigger. They aren’t happy unless everyone els around them is stressed out and worried. Hostile work environment. Turn over is extremely high overall with this company. Training is horrible but they expect you to know everything. By far the worst company I have ever worked for and do not recommend Zara at all to anyone.
Birthdays/holidays dinners
PROCESSOR (Current Employee) – Rialto, CA – January 29, 2019
Zara is a very easy job, everyones very friendly & fast paced. Always be on time, ready to work, help each one another. Coworkerswere very opened & always brought positive energy.
Pros
Allowed to listen to music
Cons
Short breaks
Stressful wouldn’t recommend working here.
Sales Associate/Cashier (Former Employee) – Bethesda, MD – January 27, 2019
They really need to improve on management here. I worked for about 3 months. My first impression of this company was nice. Management seemed easy going friendly and caring. It wasn’t until my first official day working that I witnessed the chaos of the store. Lines never ending , people running around everywhere. Unlike my other jobs, management at Zara didn’t really teach anyone proper customer service . It seemed like they hired anyone and fired anyone for pointless reasons. All of the managers have favorites and even if u worked hard you would get picked on. my hours were good only cause I worked during the holidays but it’s very disorganized and understaffed. You’ll be doing a lot a lot of work. When I decided I wanted to leave, they begged for me to stay. Then when I decided to stay they fired me because I kept changing my mind. And the one who wanted me fired couldn’t even tell me to my face. She got someone else to do it. Pathetic. Not to mention Zara at least Bethesda location is very cheap. Quality of clothes is decent but things such as equipment for the store such as registers is always breaking and old. Employees only get 25 percent discount and limited amount of purchases.
Pros
Discount only 25 percent but limited amount of ourchases
Poor management, drama, not friendly people

Stock Associate (Current Employee) – Miami, FL – January 15, 2019
It is a fun and stressing job , pays a bit better than some retail jobs , management needs some work and somewhat good benefits for only full timers. Raises every year
Pros
Discounts, flexible schedule
Cons
Barely benefits for part time, management
never work at Zara
Sales Associate/Customer Service (Former Employee) – Las Vegas, NV – January 15, 2019
They expect full open availability for 20 hours or less a week which is an unlivable amount of hours. there is no room for advancement and to get more then 20 hours you would have to be there about 2 years.
Pros
friendly co workers and customers
Cons
everything else
WORST job ever
CUSTOMER SERVICE (Former Employee) – Garden City, NY 11530 – January 15, 2019
I wouldn't recommend any one work here. They treat you any type of way and the managers are unprofessional. Managers just love talking to you however you want and they keep you after the time your supposed to leave all the time !!
Did not like ara
Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Houston, TX – January 9, 2019
managrrs are inconsiderate, racists, show favorites. very unorganized as far as delegation, time management and prioritizing duties. lots of employee gossip and managers enagaging in gossip
great job
Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Washington, DC – January 5, 2019
A typical day consists of assisting customers. some are great some are very rude but acts as if they're spending boatloads of money. turnover is a little high because of the young kids that work there. 15% discount. if your not full time except 8-15hrs a week.
*SoHo* Fun coworkers but poor management
Stock Associate (Former Employee) – New York, NY – January 1, 2019
When you first start they don’t give you training even though they have a training manager. Managers there are young and immature, there’s favoritism, they don’t know how to manage situations, they make you feel uncomfortable because they make assumptions but don’t communicate with you they talk about you behind your back like it’s highschool. One of the managers know how bad the other managers are at their job so he has to pick up after their mishaps which is unfair.
Many people quit or they’re finding new jobs while working there. They have strict rules for clock in and outs that is unnecessary. Some days they would be low on staff and only one person would be working that day. Some coworkers manage situations better than the managers ever could.
