There is a uniform allowance. After your first year you get a set amount of money from the company to pay for uniforms and such. But the first year it is deducted from your paycheck until all your uniforms are paid for. Seems like it took about 6-8 months to pay off my initial uniforms. But back then they told us we had to buy the leather jacket. Which was about $250. Now they have the option of not buying it.
