visual merchandiser (Full-time) (Current Employee) – New York, NY – July 16, 2018
a typical day at work is very fast-paced but you learned a lot from this company. learning how to sale and pick out options for customers that shop there. giving advice when it comes to styling people. interactions with different people everyday is the most fun part for me
Go and Look For Yourself
Manager (Former Employee) – Orlando, FL – July 7, 2018
I will rather give the chance to experience thing for yourself. Apply and see the pro and cons for yourself. Every store is different as well as all treatment from the company to the store is different.
You can learn a lot ( Fast pace)
Management can sometimes demand too much
But its based because the company demands from them.
If you get along with the managers/corporate you can
get easily promoted.
Treatment for everyone is not equal.
You enjoy your co-workers. They become your second family.

Break ( 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour) Depends on how long the shift is. If you are a full timer you get a good time for vacations, Holidays, Healthcare, Dental, good pay when you start off
Cons
Too demanding, favoritism, Pay for full timers, No time for personal life

Miserable work environment
Sales Associate (Former Employee) – San Jose, CA – June 29, 2018
A typical day always sent me home feeling horrible after my shifts. The management is not positive in communicating with the staff. In my experience, when customers would complain, yell in your face, and talk down on you, staff members would call their manager through the walkie-talkie, to find that the managers did not want to deal with it and hid in the break room.
Cons
Management
Fun and productive work place with positive people
Sales Floor Associate (Former Employee) – Santa Monica, CA – June 29, 2018
I started working in the stock room when i first applied then branch off into the sales floor. A typical day in the stock room consisted of organizing the clothes by style and sizes along the wall, grabbing customer online orders, communicate with each other through a walkie-talkie. That was it for the most part the stock room would do, On the floor I would be doing go backs mostly and organizing as well. I would help out customers with their questions get them sizes, I also helped out in the cash registers when needed and ran fitting rooms as well. I learned all those skills in a matter of a couple months, i really enjoyed working there. Unfortunately, the store went under construction and we got relocated. The relocation wasn't the problem, once i started it was smooth, i had been switched back to the stock room because that was my initial position, i then asked to get switched to the floor and they eventually let me be upfront but then my hours started being cut dramatically to only 8-14 hours a week, when in comparison i to the other location in Santa Monica 1 was getting about 30 each week, so i quit.
Really great retail Job
Sales Associate/Front Desk/ Cashier (Former Employee) – Miami Beach, FL 33139 – June 28, 2018
Zara is fast paced, and fun. I enjoyed interacting with the customers.I was a cashier so I was responsible for closing and balancing the registers and cash drop.
Pros
breaks, fun staff, amazing clothes and discounts, ability to move up in the company
Cons
parking
Hard work just doesn't pay off working there
Sales associate (Current Employee) – Las Vegas, NV – June 28, 2018
Overall i did learn a lot from working there,just not from the managers just from my co-workers.The managers there only helped themselves to get ahead in the company. A typical day for me would be making sure everyone was in their zones,product was being ran back to the floor.On top of making sure everyone had there breaks and lunches for when the managers were not on the floor.Plus pulling the 25's and running them to the floor. While doing visual work; money mapping,placing,assist with floor moves,organize the fitting rooms. The most enjoyable part of the job was seeing the customer leave with a smile and knowing that i did everything i could to make sure they got what they were looking for or something similar to the items that they wanted.
Pros
Good learning experience
Cons
the mangagers
Very busy
Stock associate/Men's Sales associate (Former Employee) – 59th Lexington – June 25, 2018
Usually very busy from start to finish. the workplace in the stockroom is usually crazy with unopened shipment boxes from the morning shift. which is left for the closing team. hardest part is managing morning shipment and afternoon shipment.
Typical retail
Sales/Cashier (Former Employee) – Boston, MA – June 24, 2018
As with all retail environments, know what to expect. It comes down to how competent your co-workers and managers are. You might have great co-workers who know what to do, but terrible management.
It was a productive work environment.
Cashier (Former Employee) – New York, NY – June 22, 2018
I felt really comfortable working in Zara. Management was okay. All I would suggest is better communication with employees. The job was very easy and I got along very well with my fellow coworkers.
good place to work
Cashier / Sales Associate / Visual Merchandising (Former Employee) – San Diego, CA – June 20, 2018
Some of the managers are good, sometimes they change managers too much and people quit too because is very stressfull to work at zara. What i liked is that you learn a lot and you have a lot of cultures around you
very productive workplace for kids that are in fashion school and it's fun

fun workplace
Stockroom Associate (Former Employee) – New York, NY – June 14, 2018
I have learned a large amount of knowledge related to retail and have moved up the chain steadily. I started as an associate, then a stock associate, and now a Visual Merchandiser.
I typically read reports and directly affect the floor based on the information provided.
The workplace culture can be hostile. Management continues to be a questionable change. Associates are kind and easy to talk to, management can be difficult to communicate with unless in contact with them frequently.

The workplace culture can be hostile. Management continues to be a questionable change. Associates are kind and easy to talk to, management can be difficult to communicate with unless in contact with them frequently.
The most difficult part of my position is the time constraint. There is a high turn over rate in retail, even with higher competitive pay. I enjoy all of my coworkers and finished work the most out of this job, but the lack on continuous coworkers makes the position difficult.
