Pros
Crew is great Long lunch breaks
Cons
Management is an absolute joke. Barely teach you anything in the induction, then they throw you on the floor and get another sales assistant (that also hasn't properly been trained) to train staff. Always coming up with "new training plans" to "improve employees competency" which last for 2 weeks with minimal follow up or follow through before it reverts back, then a "new" "training plan" comes along. Long hours....

Team is a reflection of the management team, which explains why the store is always a mess.

Made good friends while working.

Pros
The discount is good, you can use it for family. Sometimes the team aren’t snobby and they can make work fun. The pay is good.
Cons
Management never follow through with promises. You can be told for months you’ll be getting trained for a position and then someone new comes in and they get it. The team are very cliquey, if you’re not apart of it you get ignored and talked about, making work a horrible place to be. Management have favourites and if you’re not a favourite you’re often dumped into all of the late shifts, or thrown into the fitting room...

Pros
I worked at Zara as a full time sales assistant for a year. Okay discount on clothes, always busy and had something to do, never standing around looking for tasks. Don't really have to push product or do any hard selling - the product really sells itself. Frequent breaks in comparison with other places I've worked.
Cons
Where to start. If you are a sales assistant, you will either end up being trained in every section of the store and be totally overwhelmed with tasks, or stand in the fitting rooms hanging clothes for 9 hours a day. There is no in between and whether you get cross trained purely depends on whether management likes you. You will always be run off your feet. Sales periods are some of the most traumatising experiences...

Realise that you work at a suburban Zara store and not Chanel Times Square would really help with company morale. It's not a boutique and Zara is not fancy, so acting like a snob is not gonna win you any favours. Communicate knowledge and expectations to your team members, don't expect them to just intrinsically know things you've never bothered to teach them.
