Pros

The Starting salary is ok for UMC's $43,000 annually. They are very nice and helpful. They will pay for your relocation expenses.

Cons

The UMC program is a joke seriously. They are still in the midst of figuring out how to make it function properly. They have a 70% turnover rate with the UMC program. You have to be a Robot and do everything perfect to get any points on your evaluation, like serious you can do a action 9 out of 10 times correctly but because you missed perfection by one you will not get any evaluation points for it. They are very script on how you dress how you should walk and what to say to customers. Honestly per week you will be working give or take 50 hours. You will be worked to the bone they will make sure you earn your pay and then some. They expect too much from employees at times and put to much stress on them. Yes their are many opportunities to get promoted the test you need to pass and the eval points you need to score are super hard to achieve. Take it from me unless you want to work at a modern day sweatshop don't work here.

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.
