Pros
- Good benefits (except compensation) - Good place for an intern to learn what not to do. Gain experience and leave. - Looks good on a resume; at least for now. - If you are an average performer, want to do the same menial job day after day this is the place for you.
Cons
- Too much emphasis placed on arrival and departure times. - Not much room for advancement as all upper management positions are filled my Japanese expats. Expats are rotated through as their expiration date is due and they are replaced with another expat. - Continual rotation of expats leads to constant retraining, leading to mistakes, and misunderstandings of American business. - If you're an exempt employee, you're really not. If you work weekends, extra hours, and holidays do not expect to get any type of compensation time. - Japanese mistrust of all Americans. This comes from the top down. - At review time, numbers and assessments are brought down depending on how much is available for merit increases.
