Pros

the free water refill in the pantry?

Cons

1. the job 2. the environment 3. the pressure 4. the training 5. the higher ups This job will really test your patience. Not only will you have to bear with your supervisors and manager, you also have to bear with the unreasonable expectations of the management (can’t blame customers since we are always lacks of staff or lack of experienced staff. So if any zara customers are reading this, please try to understand how exhausting it is to do everything at once while still have to put on a smile for customer service). The store always expect their part timers to learn most things themself or magically become knowledgeable about things. The pay is higher than usual retail jobs, BUT, at what cost? I’ve been working for quite a reasonable amount of time to see the different people working there and i would say, this job will really change your attitude in life. You will start hating everything around you (sadly, including yourself) for having to work here because of its high paying part timer rate. Everyday i go to work happy and come out stressed and depressed about life but no choice since living in Singapore as a lower income family, i have to earn more to feed myself. Some will say the higher ups are also stressed about working there but we’re both working to be able to live a comfortable life so why do you have to make it hard for others to do the same.

Pros

The coworkers are the best. This is for the North Star location

Cons

Management. There is clearly favoritism. They don't want to help, they will yell at you and ask why aren't you moving fast enough. The GM doesn't do anything. Her only job is to "talk to the higher ups." She will yell at you if you speak Spanish and say English only. If you ever had an interview here some of you were judge by the way you looked. Quote from one of the managers "I didn't like the way they looked." Also, it's a problem when you talk to your coworkers when it slow.
