Pros

-an experience that will teach you to work hard and how to deal with people (both customers and employees) -potentially a fun environment with a great team of people -pay is above average for a retail company -if management likes you, you can grow with the company and climb the ranks -employee discount

Cons

-employee moral is very low -people of all levels are often stressed out or crying, usually in poor health conditions due to overworking -to be promoted you need to fit the "UNIQLO" type aka there is heavy favoritism -labor conditions are terrible, often times labor laws are broken (among other laws) -if you are salaried expect to work 10 hour days minimum (most managers work 12-15 hours a day) -most companies offer a much better benefits package -scheduling practices are a joke... the schedules are made weekly and approved last minute -work life balance is nonexistent -very high turnover ratio... for a good reason

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.
