Pros

- variety in the day - wear whatever you want - discount

Cons

I was at the disney springs store - it was a 4 week training. one week for each area. for example, one week (which is 4 shifts, all at 4 hours) was dressing rooms, the next week sales floor, next week register, etc. THERE WAS NO NEED to have 4 days of training for the fitting room! I had it down literally within the first hour of training. Why training isn't condensed into a 7-8 shift per department, maybe 2 days for register instead of 4 mini shifts a week, and the entire thing isn't done within a week was wild. I was making no money because it was 16 hours a week for training. That was barely anything for the month. The entire training could have been finished in one singular week instead of an entire month. - so unorganized. I'd show up for training and they'd pair me with someone who had no idea they were training (and in two cases didn't even want to train) - I met ONE of the managers. There were no formal introductions for any of the other ones (from my knowledge, there were like 6-8 of them) - there is no store phone number. No manager to reach if something is wrong. It's not even guaranteed that HR will answer the phone if you need anything. - no store tour. Included in the training should be an overall uniqlo day like a tour, how to use the ipod, where the stockrooms are, how to fold things, etc. - had to show face the entire 4 hour zoom call I was disappointed because I had previously worked for the actual walt disney company in merchandise (where training was finished in a week). I love the clothes at uniqlo and wanted to love this job. A lot of the people I met were nice but a lot of them were also closed off.

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.
