Extream pressure from upper management. You need to be a perfectionist to satisfy upper management, and you need to be a self-motivator to keep going without hearing about your performance when all is good.
Advice to Management
It would be better if the upper management measures their demand, and try to understand the facts of the ongoing operation of stores. Also, remember saying 'well done' or 'good job' motivate people.

Pros
Zara is a really good place to work for someone that is a multitasking person and will to learn. Not much training but you do learn so many things for surviving in there. Very good team, hardworking.
Cons
No much training, we depend on HR for most of the changes in the store, poor of communication, sometimes I was the last one to know what was going on. They gonna hold yourself for the last to give you a new contract for the promotion.
Advice to Management
HR needs to have better manners to talk with employers, I believe that some of then they do not even have a degree/course as a HR.
