Pros

30% Discount, Co-workers are "Okay", the Happi Kimono is cute

Cons

Mandatory late hours at least 2 days a week -Must stay to 12:00AM- You are forced to be nice and act kind with everyone even if you are depressed or not in for it (Fail to comply could lead to termination) they want you to be perfect at everything and expect you to abide everything they say. They smile and act nice to you even though they obviously don't care about you or your life they just want results. You cannot have fun there with your workers no conversing or anything on work floor They want you to fold clothes in a "Odd" unnecessary ways while watching people and smiling The dress code is all black nothing more nothing less You have to suck up to everyone higher than you When they train you it's like going to a second school, many pop quizzes and writing things down, and you must rewrite an excerpt word for word for one of the tests. Lateness isn't acceptable. Lastly if you are terminated you can't work at any Uniqlo ever in your life anymore.

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.
