Flexible hours. Handcrafting skills

It’s no surprise that a Japanese company is stingy in all sorts of ways. Although the company is essentially kept afloat by part-time workers (most employees are part-timers/student workers), it places very little importance on them and offers virtually no benefits. There is a meal allowance listed in the salary package, but it is effectively meaningless, and the pay is not any higher. Senior management occasionally visits the stores, but their people skills could use improvement. Every time they come, they only pick on the part-time workers’ faults; I’ve basically never heard any praise. There’s no sense of accomplishment.
