Svantaggi
Zara is a very stressful place of work, it's constantly busy so you literally cannot be tired. You often have to deal with rude customers. Some managers are great, but most of them are rude, unpleasant people to work with. They show off their 'power' treating sales assistant in a bad way so if you don't stand up for yourself you may get bullied easily. Managers and sales assistant speak Spanish all the time, so if you're not Spanish good luck, Spanish are also preferred when it comes to career progression. You won't have a work/life balance as with 30 hours I was already feeling like I was spending my whole life there. Shift patterns are bad : 5 days a week 6hours a day for 30 hours contract and 5 days a week 4 hours a day for 20 hours contract which is just ridiculous. You are not allowed to talk to your coworkers otherwise you get told off. You get file notes for no reason.
