Pros

You get benefits only if you are working full time. Having good coworkers make it a decent place to work.

Cons

High stress level working here. There are too many visits from upper management in Japan/CEO that require OT and changes to the store at least once a month. And because everyone has a different opinion on standard and what looks good, there are multiple changes last minute throughout the store which is a waste of time, unnecessary, a lot of work and stresses everyone out. They managers don't know how to manage and make you change styling once or twice for each mannequin and later decide the original styling was the best. Before a visit, I had to change all 60+ mannequins within a week or less because the management doesn't want to follow the monthly directive given but chooses what looks good to them. Uniqlo is always short staffed and people call out often so it lands on you for filling those employee spots, running around taking on multiple roles which is almost impossible when there is so much to do. You get an opportunity every 3 months to get promoted, but you have to pass an evaluation from your manager, a written exam, and a group interview with the highest managements in your area. This also makes it impossible because they are very bias and specific of who they want to promote. So it's not based on if you're good and actually deserve it.

Pros

You learn a lot of the business; scheduling and payroll, labor management, how to create a daily workflow to accomplish business objectives. You're provided with detailed insights into a store's operations- it's P&L statement, total inventory and how convert key data into actionable plans. Simply put, you are challenged and will learn a lot.

Cons

Company and store experience varies greatly by store location. Unfortunately, management favoritism results in certain individuals getting better treatment and greater access to professional opportunities. Additionally, Company HR is very tepid when addressing store issues pertaining to behaviors exhibited by store management towards associates. Scheduling can be very inflexible and unaccommodating.
