Pros

You will meet a lot of awesome people and make honest friends with. The starting pay rate is better than most retail places.

Cons

Where do I start....its a slave ship driven company!!!! -5th Avenue is the worst location to work in. -Long hours, and you will stay past your shift ends. -Worst communication between management and associates. -The worst favoritism you will ever see. -Uniqlo is like high school all over again. Management or people above you are immature and will target you if you are not favored by them. -People who are put in to the HR position, does not know how to do their job correctly. Violates their rule of conduct. -Break room is so small, it can not accommodate a long staff. -Uniqlo is about customer services and proving the best customer service ever, but you will never see a manager do it or anyone higher up. Every one acts like they have a stick up there and acts like their better than you because of their positions. -So think about it before you apply, if you want to work for "go die hard" work mentality Asian company.

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.
