Pros

If you’re competitive, love “the grind,” and are cool with being constantly under the scrutiny of metrics (hitting sales call goal, making phone calls, hitting quota) then theres a lot of pros. They wont fire you unless you SUCK or cheat/lie, solid work life balance considering you arent at an office all day, good benefits, good pay, great training and youre super higherable after a year or two here.

Cons

If you get caught in a management structure where no one above you will be leaving/moving up anytime soon, it can be really hard to get promoted. Company is very slow to change and very much follows Japanese values. Considers very little input from employees. There is a strong feeling that the “secret sauce” works and there is no reason to change it, despite the high turnover at this company. Lots of people spend 2 years here then leave, but the people who dont leave find themselves ina really solid groove where they can sort of sleep walk through the job and make solid money. Bad maternity/paternity. Have heard from women at the company that its a mans world here.
