Pros

Working in a fast paced, fashion forward company. Pay is the only compensation for some of the difficulties you’ll have to put up with.

Cons

Rostering was completely backwards, barely scraping through the Australian standards of weekends worked and weekends off. Ended up being more of a sales assistant than actually completing the job I was hired for. Early starts, late finishes (my average week was patterning between 7am and 11am starts, hardly enough time to sleep or have a social life). Very little wiggle room for your own needs and wants - ‘their way or the high way’. I left because I wasn’t able to take a weekend off to see my dying uncle because it was a “black out period” over Easter.

Pros

My coworkers and Managers felt like a family I felt supported and was able to make good connections At the time I was there my managers made it feel less daunting to ask questions or come to them if I had concerns about customers . I feel like if I stayed with Zara longer I would have been able to move within the company easily.

Cons

Air conditioning didn't work while I was there.
