Pros

Good start up if you are a student Fast growth in the first levels Fair start up salary Stable job

Cons

Overworked and underpaid Exceeded goals are never recognized Too much Bureaucracy in Corporate Rules can be broken ONLY for favorite employees Physical appearance goes first than brains Corporate prefers to hire outsiders than promote employees An employee that is being promoted needs to wait for 1-3 months to see any increase in salary, while an outsider gets the offered salary immediately even when they are still in training The only training you get is from the managers in the store and for the position you are hired, after that you won't get extra training. Wonder why Corporate has a Training Department? 15% discount in your store.... RIDICULOUS!!!!! And if you are a Manager you have to wear only Zara Clothes (in season) Employees are replaced very easily.

Pros

There aren’t many pros, pretty chill coworkers I suppose

Cons

Managment is a mess, filled with people who really don’t know what they’re doing and they have empolyees who’s sole purpose is being on their phones and not working, the “GM” is a wreck and doesn’t know how to properly soeak to people as she believes she’s above everyone, and regional isn’t much better
