Pros

Sales colleagues at starter level.

Cons

The MOST toxic environment I’ve ever worked in. Management are the most incompetent people I’ve ever met- terribly ill suited for management roles. No people skills- condescending, passive aggressive, generally just rude and disrespectful. Not to mention will be very abusive of their power. HR in this company are an absolute joke. They’re there to protect management. Solutions are ‘small slap on the wrists’ ending in YOU eventually having to move stores to resolve anything. Even then you will still meet more incompetent and rude management at most the other stores that you are transferred. Promotions and advancing in uniqlo is based off a very silly test which does not take into account their people skills. Hence the terrible choices for management. Not to mention if they don’t like you for whatever reason (you’ve expressed you can’t do overtime or so many evening shifts as they love to give and pressure you into doing) you will not be put forward for promotion over the silliest and untrue reasons. Higher ups in HO pretend to care and ask why turnover rate is so high but then don’t want to hear it’s basically because of the bullying. They turn it back on you anyway they can. Demeaning and terrible place to work, terrible for mental health. Do not work for this company. Would give 0 stars if I could.

Pros

Great Benefits. Better than most companies. Pay is good for your role in the management realm. Sales Associates also receive better pay than other retail companies.

Cons

No Work/life balance Little to no promotional opportunities unless you're favored by management or your mother works there. (The staff notices) Promotions are based on passing an exam and then an interview of the US CEO. If they don't like your interview, you don't get promoted. Specialty team managers don't get pay increases unless your title changes which can take several years. They force you to take your PTO, but deny it when you submit it, claiming "business needs."
