Beware of Nepotism

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Experiencing new foods and products

Cons

Nepotism, favoritism, and fractured communication. Being an Asian myself, you cannot escape the negatives of the culture in the workplace (expected to die for your job, gossip abundant)

Pros

decent pay compared to other grocery stores decent hours - no overnight/late night work

Cons

exactly what you would expect from japanese work culture clear nepotisim in management and corporate (it is a family owned company still) absolutely zero desire to modernize and adopt industry methods of organization, training, safety, receiving, stocking etc. no planograms, virtually no SKU tracking system/inventory virtually no actual training aside from just "watch what i do and learn it"
