CYA culture (Cover your butt) this is an accepted term/culture there, and it is accepted that others will throw you under the buss in order to not get in trouble themselves. Management makes decisions behind closed doors, but still make you do the work for a decision already made. Management is fearful of those above them, so they won't bring your issues to their upper management. They just tell associates "no" instead of actually trying to fix problems. No true room to grow, especially if you are female or not Japanese. Promotions seem to be more time based than performance. Even as salary, your time is tracked to the minute, and taking PTO will include a guilt trip before they let you take the time off. No headphones in CCR department, so good luck concentrating in the open office with loud personalities.
