Pros

I'm giving 1 star for the employees here. Most of them are very nice, helpful, and easy to talk to, and that's all about the good things.

Cons

Remember, it's still a "traditional Japanese company". If you don't know any Japanese culture, you will not get used to the environment here. Every employees here speaks some level of Japanese, and all the communications are done in Japanese. (even though recently they started including English in meetings to show as if they are moving toward diversity.) As many people mentioned, there is severe managerial issue. I can see micromanagement, and it seems like upper class managers only prefer "very talkative" people. If you are not such person, don't consider working here. First impression is really crucial for them. I also saw one of the senior employees here looking down on below average candidates. I don't know if good staffing agencies would also do such thing, but this is not humane at all and should not be the attitude of a company that provides customer service. Anyways, I'm thankful to my experience here since I learned staffing agencies are generally unstable (insanely high turn over rate) and there are much better companies all over the place. And glassdoor reviews are reliable mostly so be sure to look at them when doing job search!

Pros

Overall friendly environment, great if you are fresh out of college and looking to start your career in HR, Recruiting, and / or administration. Company provides study sessions to improve your knowledge. Basic Benefits with 401(k), flexible spending account for medical.

Cons

Everyone is forced to do overwork due to high turn-over rate, and company is constantly loosing people mainly due to managerial issues. Not a company to work for long term, if you want to advance in your career. Salary range does not meet the job description for both Business Development and Recruiter position, you will be asked to work very long hours. If you are business development, you deal with 99% Japanese clients, and absolutely no diversity in company. Poor management decisions and luck of communication is severely damaging the relationship between upper management and royal employees.

Pros

Very good for beginner. You will be training by experienced worker well. There are training cource and meeting too. These are helpful.

Cons

PASONA is very good for beginner but is not good for experienced person. And should not work for a long time. There are many strict rules such as.... You have to ask permission in advance for overtime or you have to report if you made mistake even though a small mistake.
