Pros

Good opportunity to meet and work with different types of people. Decent work-life balance. Hours can be long but there is the assurance oh having minimum 2 days off per week since working on weekends is a strong possibility.

Cons

Difficult for those incumbents to climb up promotion ladder. Internal politics is tiring at times. The outlet managers tend to be nicer to temporary workers since temps don't work for long and will eventually be customers after the contract ends. More responsibilities and blame tend to be placed on permanent staff. Favoritism from bosses and colleagues if you are an extrovert (Regardless temporary or permanent position). The "outcasts" tend to be given the undesirable roles. Especially heavy workload during seasonal sales period.

Pros

My coworkers and Managers felt like a family I felt supported and was able to make good connections At the time I was there my managers made it feel less daunting to ask questions or come to them if I had concerns about customers . I feel like if I stayed with Zara longer I would have been able to move within the company easily.

Cons

Air conditioning didn't work while I was there.
