Pros

- Great pay given it being a retail job ($14/Hr) - 30% Discount (Regular Priced Items Only) - Chance to move up every 3 months - Always something to do - Chance to gain experience in everything from stock, fitting room, cash, and sales floor (great for those with zero job experience)

Cons

- No diversity (Mostly Asians, making communication difficult between non- english speaking employees - 1.5 Hours of unpaid breaks making shift a total of 9.5 hours (Prepare to dedicate your entire day to Uniqlo, possible shifts include 7:30AM-5:00PM, 9:30AM- 7:00PM, 12:00PM-9:30PM, 1:30PM-11:00PM. just saying but the mall (Eaton Centre) opens at 10:00AM and closes at 9:30PM) (Beware if you live far as well) - Constant layout changes creating constant stress and pressure among employees - Mandatory writing down sales information daily (Let's be real nobody really cares about that stuff, what it really feels like is a constant reminder of how much this company cares about money) - Strict regulations

Pros

The work is very easy to do

Cons

Very weird work atmosphere. It micro management to the extreme and it’s the worst with the assistant store manager, it’s bordering unprofessional. They don’t like the employees communicating with each other in the slightest, to the point that your coworkers are strangers. It’s not good for the morale. They even require you to have your body language to be in a certain position. And they don’t like when you ask questions about specific procedures about the job that you’d never know unless it is explained. That is a big issue with the assistant store manager she hates to have to explain anything and if she does you can very clearly tell that she is irritated and upset that you asked in the first place.
