After countless job applications and getting rejected/no responses, I finally landed an interview with UNIQLO.

I’ve honestly always wanted to work for UNIQLO, and it’s one of those companies where I could genuinely see myself working. But after looking around online, I’ve been seeing quite a few negative reviews about the workplace. Some people have mentioned toxic management, being underpaid, mistreatment from management, crazy workloads, and some pretty ridiculous policies.
So I’m wondering. what is it actually like working at UNIQLO? Especially if you’re a current or former employee, I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience. I’m mainly interested in the store environment, management, workload, pay, and overall work-life balance.

I’m also pretty nervous because my interview is this Friday and it’s a group interview. I’m a very introverted person and usually more of a listener. I can be pretty shy in group settings, especially when I’m around people I don’t know, so I’m worried my personality might hold me back from getting the job.
I really want this job though, so I’m trying my best to prepare for it.
Would love to hear from anyone who currently works or has worked at UNIQLO. good or bad experiences are welcome. I’d rather know what I’m getting myself into before accepting anything.

PS: For anyone who has interviewed at UNIQLO before, what was the interview process like? How many people were in the group, what kind of questions did they ask, and was there anything you wish you had prepared beforehand? Is the group interview more of a discussion/activity, or is it basically everyone answering questions one by one?
I really want this job, so I’m trying my best to prepare and not completely embarrass myself lol

Hi guys i(female) just got hire (canada) and in my letter it says the dress code is :"Business Casual, no patterns/logos/graphics that do notbelong to UNIQLO, comfortable closed toe shoes" , well i'm not sure like is it okay if i wear plain jeans(not their brand) and a plain uniqlo t shirt ? i know it might differ from location to location but would love to hear everyone's opinion and experiences! :)

Hi, I recently applied for urs, and I didn't get rejected (or maybe I did), nor was I accepted. They sent me an email saying that the position I applied for is already full and will email me once again once there’s an opening. Would that be true, or is that smth they say to make me feel better after getting rejected because I have hopes they would (it's really my dream to work at Uniqlo, so pls dont blame me for hoping)

Hello po. I had a face to face interview recently, magpa five days na po since then pero wala pa rin pong email para po sa Online exam. Gaano po ba usually katagal maghihintay para dun o maghihintay pa po ba ako? Ang sabi po nung nag CIS, sasabihin naman daw po nila kung rejected o hindi but even rejection email wala po. Any advice po?

Hi I am looking for a light rain jacket and been thinking about getting one from uniqlo.
I know that with these kinds of clothes you will sweat eventually, but its being marketed as breathable. I want one for 20"c + raining days which is breathable and has a minimalistic design like uniqlo.

Maybe you can suggest an alternative for a similiar pricepoint.

Thanks in advance

I'm going to try out the straight fit selvedge jeans but my only concern is bleeding of the dye. A big component of my wardrobe is just a basic white shirt. How is the bleeding of the dye on the selvedge jeans?

hello, any advice or tips for a student that will be working part time as retail specialist in uniqlo?

Hi everyone, I’m having a frustrating issue with my Uniqlo AIRism T-shirts and was wondering if anyone has experienced something similar.

My white AIRism tees develop pretty noticeable yellow sweat stains that don’t come out with regular stain remover. If anything, they seem to have become more noticeable after washing.

My darker AIRism tees (navy, black and dark grey) have a different issue: weird white/shiny spots that are only visible at certain angles when the light reflects off the fabric. They almost look like heat or ironing marks, but I’ve never ironed or steamed them.

Does anyone know what could be causing this and how to get these marks out without damaging the fabric?

I’m also considering switching to the ARKET Relaxed T-Shirt (220 GSM). Does anyone know how its fit compares to the Uniqlo AIRism tee? I like the relaxed/oversized fit of the Uniqlo and would ideally want something fairly similar.

Since I regularly go to Asia, it really is not worth it to buy a lot of Uniqlo in the States. I will just load my suitcase with Uniqlo and Muji next time I'm in Asia. The price over there is half of the sales prices here. Can't believe I'd been buying Uniqlo at full price for years here...Like this thought didn't even cross my mind. I see, I buy🤦🏻‍♀️

I have never seen these bow legged pants anywhere except for Uniqlo and GU. Do they think they are trend setters? I tried them on multiple times this year to see if I could try to like it, but the shape just looks absolutely awful.

Please bring back the wide straight pants. They are cleaner and better looking.

Hi everyone ! I recently quit uniqlo in Aus and i’m basically just posting this to release all of my trauma and hatred that this company has instilled in me. I need like a cathartic release because of all the bs that i tolerated.

Power tripping supervisors and managers

japanese work culture that does NOT mesh well with Australian work culture

Managers here are foul and literally put you down, supervisors are basically their little bxtch

I can’t believe i put up with this bullshxt.

If you ever come across this place hiring, save your mental health

yeah the clothes are cool but what really lies underneath is no different to what feels like slavery

i genuinely couldnt give a flying fxxk about what happens to the entire management of the store i worked at, they should all be ashamed of themselves for treating others so horrifically

*note this is all just opinion from my experience
