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.
