A high degree of freedom. If you stay long enough and develop a thick skin, you can make it to retirement.

The company is extremely stingy when it comes to distributing performance bonuses.

The methods for meeting the annual performance-bonus targets are changed every year.

And they almost always rush to announce them in March of that year.

There is no retroactive adjustment after the announcement, which means that some performance achieved before March does not count as performance under the new method.

The company simply saves on bonuses while also increasing its gross profit.

The department responsible for calculating and distributing performance bonuses spends all day coming up with ways to make sure sales staff cannot receive their bonuses.

The company’s attitude is that, with such a big name and large business, there will always be new people willing to be exploited.

But when new hires are brought in, there is no training program for them whatsoever.

On the morning of the first day, there is a one-hour session that is nominally called new-hire training, but in reality is just preaching to you about how good the company’s benefits are.

How great the performance is—does this really count as training?

There are loads of older employees waiting to retire, just getting through one day at a time.

Young people who join eventually become old in their mindset too.

If young people want to come here just to pad their résumé, I think that’s fine.

But if you have dreams and want to showcase your talents,

please don’t come and waste your time.

There are many startups out there that would suit you better.
