Uniqlo reviews

Job is simple and stress-free enough (albeit pretty strict) from when you're a sales associate up to a supervisor. Once you enter management though, be prepared for the company to work you until your hair turns gray and you got constant bags under your eyes. Felt like I was on the verge of death and was always stressed out. Be prepared for burnout. The fact is, Uniqlo is a Japanese company that clings to its Japanese work culture and refuses to adopt any semblance of a healthy work-life balance. Doesn't matter that the stores are in the US. They feel the Japanese way is superior and stubbornly reject calls to change and adapt. They say they care about your wellbeing and are trying to improve work-life balance, but that's just lip service. Internally, nothing has changed. They try to cover over it by paying its staff more than their competitors in a bid to get you to stay, but that's just applying a band-aid over a festering wound. Also doesn't matter if you can't handle it. If you quit, they'll just bring in one of their thousands of Japanese expats to replace you in seconds. At least they're used to the Japanese work culture and won't complain like those soft Americans (sarcasm). Uniqlo honestly probably has one of the highest turnover rates in the industry.

Where do I begin... - No work life balance. If you know the Japanese, all they do is work work work, and they will expect that of you too. The majority of the office is still there after 6pm which is when the day is supposed to end. - No trust with upper management. The finance team decides what is best for the marketing team. Work of advice - let the experts in the field choose what is right. - HR has been trying to implement Uniqlo as being the best place to work for, meanwhile people are still dropping like flies and quitting, because it’s that horrible. - The workload is absurd because there aren’t enough people on each time since everyone quits and HR doesn’t do a good enough job to replace those who quit in a timely manner. - There is a store vs corporate war. Stores hate the corporate office which makes it difficult to work with them. A lot of tension there. I could go on and on... overall there are SO many better companies to work for that offer much more than UNIQLO does. You will quit within 6 months if you decide to work here - guarantee.
