Pros

Uwajimaya ownership intentionally kept the team short staffed to get out of paying pandemic hazard pay. The executive committee is filled with underperforming people who never show up to the store. But they have earned their titles by having the last name of Moriguchi or being a friend of the family. The uwajimaya company is gentrifying the neighborhood by charging the highest rent rates in the community. Multiple times more expensive than any of their staff can afford. Management also has to take second jobs to afford to live.

Cons

The guests are out of control and have slapped me, cursed at me and threatened to fight me. The security team is a joke and puts the staff's safety at risk. Older staff members use new employees to carry the majority of the work load.
