It can do better
Sales Associate (Current Employee) – San Francisco Bay Area, CA – August 21, 2019
Better management please their management sucks and need to hire more employees and get a better uniform clothes. And work less labor and stop over working the employees by giving more hours and there not even full time .
great place for growth within the company.
Head Cashier (Current Employee) – Staten Island, NY – August 20, 2019
I like working at Zara because, they offer internal opportunities to grow to their current employees before looking from outside the company. I moved up in the company quiet easily within the first year of working there.

Nice place to work at
Sales Associate, Cashier, and stock associate (Former Employee) – Century City, CA – August 18, 2019
It has its up and downs about working there. But they need better store management. And need to listen to the employer’s concerns more. But the business is ran properly and had great people to work with!
Pay is ok managements sucks and so do customers
Floor Supervisor (Former Employee) – Arcadia, CA – August 17, 2019
Customers are messy and entitled. Management for the most part delegates and doesn’t perform/carry their own weight. Pay is ok, corporate and management have favorites. Politics at the end of the day.
Worst place
Team Leader (Former Employee) – Garden City, NY – August 17, 2019
The absolute worst place I have ever worked. Kids Head Department Manager is lazy, childish and takes no accountability. Men’s Department manager is lazy af, he walks around the entire day or sits in break room. Women’s manager is disgusting, lies alot, doesn’t know what he’s doing, has no respect for workers. Hr does nothing
Fun/ professional workplace based on location
HEAD CASHIER (Former Employee) – Boston, MA – August 17, 2019
overall it depends on which Zara you work for. I assisted in opening the 5th av store by 42nd st. The interview went extremely well and they were very fun. The store manager there is horrible and unprofessional and has a very bad attitude. When corporate comes down she slaps on lipstick and acts so polite but when they go back upstairs shes very rude and picks on employees. The location I trained at the store 666 5th ave was amazing!! Amazing store manager and employees are super amazing and this is a larger store.
Fun and Productive Workplace
Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Miami, FL – August 15, 2019
I loved working with my coworkers and managers. They all help each other and there is a lot of communication to deliver the best customer service. It is a really busy store but successful.
toxic place to work.
Sales Associate (Former Employee) – King of Prussia, PA – August 14, 2019
management, communication. favoritism, and managers love picking with employees. I wish one day managers would actually help on the sales floor and not just complain. the coworkers is what made me stay so long. if I could talk to Zaras CEO I would!
At this point you need new management, you guys don't know how to communicate with employees, its sad, the way you guys talk to your employes are ridiculous.
As soon as corporate comes they change the way they want things on the floor which is understandable, but it confuses associates, because like two days after it'll go back to normal, its frustrating , Managers love changing things for corporate which I understand but why not talk to other managers about it , so y'all all can come up to an agreement and then talk to your employees instead of confusing them
management talks about there employees, they talk about each other. like its very unprofessional . the whole store just need to shut down. My interview went great but down the line you don't wanna have this as a career job unless its new management.
I do love the diverse at the job though !!
good luck! remember my experience could be way different from yours try it out!

typical work day
Stock Associate (Former Employee) – Manhattan, NY – August 9, 2019
zara was really fast paced and. the managers were very unprofessional and bossy. you could feel the tension in the workplace. it was very uncomfortable because employees didn't want to mess up anything that they were told to do and get yelled at.
Worst job to work
Stock/Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Boston, MA – August 9, 2019
The management is horrible and lazy. They are rude. They do whatever they want and expect the associates to do most of their job while they sit around and talk and boss others to do their extra work. They do not train new hires properly, causing the new hires to not do their job correctly and causing inconvenience to other workers. Even though they say they are in need of workers they let off other workers, especially workers who actually did their jobs, who was on leave for a while and do not hire them back. They are inconsistent and do not care about you. They lie and say one thing and mean another. They do favoritism. They will overwork the associates.
productive and good job culture
operation stockroom (Former Employee) – Tampa, FL – August 7, 2019
good life balance and compensation and benefits, the enjoy attending customers, in a tipical day is hard work and gratificant when the people find garment and still different
I like to work Zara
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) – Manchester – August 7, 2019
I would like to work Zara because I like Zara management and it is very easy for me because I did before it was, in my opinion, to work hard and show my work skills.
Pros
Fee breaktime
Cons
Like 10 or 15 minutes
Stressful and aloof
Cashier and Customer service (Former Employee) – Torrance, CA – August 6, 2019
The kid's department manger at that time was a terribly wicked woman, however she was sent to a different location after I had quit. The men's department manger is the greatest and the women's department manger is also nice.
Fun for those who like fast paced environment
Subdirector (Former Employee) – Los Angeles, CA – August 3, 2019
Working for Zara can be very intense, definitely not for the weak. Some days you could work 12 hour days, get off at 11pm and need to be back at 5am. Can be very long days depending on your commute. Overall, the right team can keep you motivated to complete all tasks and make it all worth it.
Not recommended
Part-time Cashier (Current Employee) – Los Angeles, CA – August 3, 2019
Very stressful work, lack of respect for the intense role of cashiers at my specific location. Managers are not very cooperative or understanding when it comes to issues within the store and requesting time off.
It’s a decent job, the location I was working at in Aventura mall is most of the time busy but there’s friendly faces that I work with.
Sales Associate/Cashier (Current Employee) – Aventura, FL – August 3, 2019
I love fashion, so I enjoyed that aspect of the job, and I needed a part time job as well so that helped. I learned the importance of communication and time management while making new friendships.
If its temporary it's ok
Sales Associate (Current Employee) – New York, NY – August 2, 2019
I would pass this company unless you are desperate for a job. There is favoritism. It is not stable. The atmosphere is full of fear and tension. If you aren't a yes-person you aren't getting anything.
