Pros

Good benefits and hours. The company has a lot of reward for employees like employee of the month, birthdays, company picnic and christmas party. Paid holidays.

Cons

Scheduling is bad. Not constant and People are rude, and they allow bullying inside the company because the Japanese don't seem to like to confront trouble and just like it be. A lot of favoritism.
