good place for part time
Sales associate&Cashier (Current Employee) –  New York, NYJuly 30, 2019
Zara is a nice place to work, and all the people and managers are nice, but only if you are part time, if you are seeking a full time with good pay, then it is not for Zara

Not worth the PTO
Stock Supervisor (Current Employee) –  Glendale, CAJuly 30, 2019
Most days are repetitive. No matter how hard you try to please one manager another will disagree with your work priorities. The hardest part is dealing with the unprofessional environment. The most enjoyable part is not having to be there.
Pros
Hour Lunches, Pto, Benefits
Cons
Management, Inconsistent Scheduling, Favoritism

Challenging environment for those trying to move up
Stock Supervisor (Former Employee) –  New York, NYJuly 25, 2019
It is a very fun environment where most team members interact with each other and help each other. If you are trying to move up with the company they challenge you to work harder and get out of your comfort zone.

Worst place to work ever
Assistant/cashier (Former Employee) –  StockholmJuly 25, 2019
Very stressful job and bad management. The communication is really poor. I know a few people who had to go on sick leave because of the stress and because they were bullied by the manager. Managers are really disrespectful and rude. They curse when talking on the walkie talkie and they tell you to work faster in front of the customers. They don't offer proper training for new staff . They treat you like robots. They change the rules every week and they don't communicate so you never know if something changed and if you are doing something wrong. Managers don't even say good morning to you . You never hear anything positive, only negative comments. Everyone is really unhappy in the company .
Pros
25% discount only after 6 months of employment
Cons
Rude managers, underpaid job

The job is a cool job. I've learned to be a better person and be more socialized. the managers are amazing. the hardest apart of my job was getting there because of public transportation but I drive now.

Worst company to work with
Product Leader (Current Employee) –  Orlando, FLJuly 16, 2019
Working at Zara it's the worst experience I ever had. Management is clueless and really don't care about anything but themselves. HR is almost non-existent since we do have but doesn't have a clue or just lie to benefit themselves and the company. They treat you like garbage and if you try to speak up, then you get threatened and labeled as a problematic employee. Horrible experience.

GREAT place work at.
Retail Sales Associate (Former Employee) –  Las Vegas, NVJuly 16, 2019
I specifically worked the one located in Las Vegas I would say I genuinely liked working at Zara’s. The employees and managers were all friendly and made the work environment as fun and charismatic as possible for employees. Loved the employees and management done at Zara’s. Yes management mistakes happen but they fix and correct it in the most professional manner.

Sales Associate (Former Employee) –  Costa Mesa, CAJuly 10, 2019
Zara is generally a good place for working and the managers are usually very understanding. The pay is decent and recently they fixed the payment rate and there are no commissions anymore.

It was alright
Cashier (Former Employee) –  Denver, COJuly 8, 2019
It was alright working here. Some of the managers were nice and some were very rude. I was very busy outside of work but still they made me come open the store every day and close on the weekends. I tired talking to them to work something out ( I originally applied to be part-time but they made me work 40+ Hours a week ) but they didn’t even take anything I told them into consideration.

fast paced and detail oriented
Sales Associate/Cashier (Former Employee) –  San Francisco, CAJuly 3, 2019
Keep the sales floor/fitting rooms clean and organized and customers happy as can be, this is fast fashion! Managers can get nit picky about little things but will help you out when you need it. There is definitely room for advancement and a solid team throughout the year to help you out. Go Teamwork.

Turnover rate
Sales Associate (Current Employee) –  Torrance, CA 90503July 2, 2019
Management sucks! They over work you till you're dead and they hire unmotivated people that you pretty much have to clean up after. Those people end up leaving and the cycle keeps going on and on.
Pros
a lot of hours
Cons
Turn over rate sucks

low end designer retail
Stock Associate (Former Employee) –  Atlanta, GAJune 27, 2019
not a bad part time gig if you like low end designer retail items. unfortunate that it only caters to a certain type of people, the styles that is. needs to expand its size charts.

Very fast pace and unorganized
Operations Manager (Former Employee) –  New JerseyJune 26, 2019
Very fast pace work environment. Management is terrible they do not train you at all. I was a manager and was barley trained. They have very high expectations but don’t provide the resources to accomplish them. My store was very understaffed to the point I was working 12 and 13 hour shifts. I was constantly written up because I refused to take on the jobs of other managers. My store director was terrible and lazy but was friends with HR so was never held accountable.
Pros
The clothes and the people you meet
Cons
Discount is Trash for the amount of work you put in. Management and HR just throw them away
