Pros

Lifetime Employment Free Japanese Lessons Good Benefits Well respected as a major trading house in Japan short-term overseas assignment at 2-4 years

Cons

some departments are still conservative Unclear career path long-term overseas assignment takes 5-10 years Major trading house means you could possibly be assigned to any sales / corporate teams in any industry. If you have specific industry you want / don't want to be in, this is not good for you.

Pros

Flex with daily arrival/departure times.

Cons

Unreasonable RTO- 5 days a week with no consideration for time or cost to employees. Pay is very low. Benefits are the bare minimum--it takes 5 years to earn 100% of employer 401(k) match. Blatant FAVORITISM toward expatriate staff and even more blatant EXCLUSION of all other staff. Fake Paid Maternity Leave - they pay only after state benefits and disability payments. No appreciation/recognition for development; "claw back" on education contributions if you leave so they hold you hostage. Company events are biased and prejudice--they only honor Asian and Hispanic events. but do not honor Black History Month, Women's History Month etc. and in very poor taste. No chance for growth/development/advancement.
