Pros

Discount for Uniqlo clothes, offer insurance for full timer. I think that is everything

Cons

01. There is no way to stop a manager from going on a power trip. Evaluations are only done top-down, not mutually. 02. The work shifts are irregular. They schedule things like closing shifts followed immediately by opening. 03. There is no management, just micromanaging everything. Even management is bad, only few J1, J2 can do real management. 04. Even meal times are different every day. It’s a terrible workplace culture. 05. Bad policies prohibit making cool relationship with coworker. Totally terrible, the only thing that we can get in this job is cool coworker. Even for this, terrible culture bans it.

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."
