Uniqlo reviews

There is never enough staff and you are guilted into working 14 hours days for weeks on end. HR claims to monitor excessive working hours but that's a lie. You are taught this BS about everyone being a business leader but it's all a game to get you to work longer, and harder, and be blamed for things that go wrong because although they don't really offer support or resources, you are expected to take full responsibility. Bonus structure seems generous are first but there's no standard scoring methodology and it's like it's up to your direct manager to make up some justification for the score they knew they were giving you all along. There is no place for new or innovative ideas, they end up jamming old practices from Japan down your throat and are expected to make it work regardless of how ancient and ineffective those ideas are. You are also constantly compared to the Japanese expatriates, theirs is a culture of excessive work and they are usually here alone, they don't have to balance their lives but you do and it's impossible. If you don't have a stress induced or stress related illness within a year of working here, then you may actually survive another.

• they focus on the wrong things. a manager literally pulled me from a customer i was helping to show me a TAG on the floor that she could’ve picked up herself! • they expect you to do 5 million different things at once then give you “feedback” saying you don’t move with a “sense of urgency” • they never want to let you go home. when you finish your section they’ll try to make you stay and are completely inconsiderate of the fact that you could be getting a ride or taking the bus. thank god i drive but for everyone else who didn’t? they kept them there till midnight or even 1 AM! • they love to rush you to finish your section so you can leave by 11 but instead of putting you there when you get back from break. they’ll put you somewhere else, expect you to close there THEN close your section • very odd dress code. you can’t wear their UTs in the store and you can’t wear short sleeves. even in the summer. • managers and ASM’s will tell you that you can’t do certain things yet you will find them doing EXACTLY what they told you not to do • incompetent management. none of them ever really seem to know what’s going on or know anything really. one supervisor will tell you to do something then another one will come along and tell you to do something else, then when you explain that you’re doing another task they look at you with a dumbfounded look on their face. none of them communicate between each other of who is doing what so nobody knows what’s going on half the time. if you ask one manager something they’ll tell you to ask another manager and that manager will tell you they don’t know and you have to go to someone else. rinse, wash, repeat. • brutal hours. they’ll have you working closing shifts back to back to back! • unrealistic expectations of sales associates!
