Pros
The 30% discount is nice. Free admission to the MoMA in NYC. Other sales associates are very friendly and levelheaded. 1-hour Break
Cons
If you are looking for a career in retail and/or fashion design, this is the place to work at. If not, then stay away for the love of God. UNIQLO represents Japanese work structures to a T in that one is supposed to put UNIQLO and the UNIQLO brand beyond all else. Though most companies put this forward, they are generally relaxed and allow the staff to become their own family. UNIQLO does not allow that. You are required to take notes whenever management talks to you, stand a certain way, keep your feet a certain way, write down sales figures and memorize popular items and sales on a daily basis. This would make perfect sense for management, but as a college student who was simply looking for part-time work, it was absolutely unnecessary. Unsurprisingly, the turn-over rate is exceedingly high. Little-to-no Work/Life balance. Little-to-no training, yet high expectations for store, procedure, and policy knowledge. And needless to say, you will be working long hours. Unless you plan to work at UNIQLO Full-time, there is no point in working at UNIQLO at all.
