UNIQLO Retail Stores Employee Review

Mixed Experience - Consider Carefully

Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Richmond, BC - 11 September 2023

Here are some of my experience at Uniqlo Richmond Centre. Positives:-Above Minimum Wage Pay: Uniqlo pays $2 above the minimum wage, which is certainly a plus. It reflects their commitment to providing competitive compensation.-Promotion Opportunities: The company offers a chance for advancement every three months, which is a great incentive for employees looking to grow within the organization.-Friendly Co-workers: I had the privilege of working with friendly and supportive co-workers, which made the daily grind more enjoyable.Negatives:-Communication Breakdown: One of the significant drawbacks was the lack of effective communication between management and employees. Clear and consistent communication is vital for a productive work environment.-Favouritism and Treatment of Employees: Unfortunately, there appeared to be a noticeable bias towards employees hired through different means, who were granted faster advancement opportunities. What was even more concerning was how employees who did not meet the company's "standard" were treated poorly. -Unrealistic Standards: The company often set unrealistic standards for employees, making tasks more difficult than necessary. These high expectations could lead to stress and burnout among the workforce, and it's essential for the company to strike a balance between setting ambitious goals and ensuring employees can realistically achieve them.-Stressful Visits from Higher-Ups: Almost weekly visits from higher-ups created a stressful work environment for leaders, which, unfortunately, trickles down to employees. This constant -

Pros

Good pay, Good co-workers

Cons

Management, communication breakdown, rude customers, super long hours.

If you love to work great! If no…then no!

Sales Associate (Current Employee) - Mississauga, ON - 22 November 2023

Compared to most retail jobs, Uniqlo is more challenging. It’s definitely not a beginner joh but you can apply as a first time part timer and learn so much from this company. You just need to be willing to learn and show some dedication! They’re flexible with scheduling and the work culture and ethic is really tight. Although it is said that they have strict policies and rules to follow, it’s not difficult. Any job would ask for an explanation for lateness and documents to support your cause. HR & management is very responsive and timely with these things. As a full timer, it’s demanding but that’s what you sign up for. They’re very transparent with what they ask of you in the beginning so it’s important to note this as you work 5 days a week. You can grow quite fast in the company with the opportunities they give out. If you’re looking for a job that gives you many hours, pays well, and allows room for growth, then Uniqlo is the place to be!

Fast Paced and Team Oriented

Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Yorkdale, ON - 10 November 2023

Learned a lot as someone who was new to clothing retail. Every day was different as there was a rotating schedule throughout the day.Team meetings/pep talks before opening really emphasized the importance of teamwork.
