Honestly, I really can’t think of any.
1. Low salary: It’s only around 30,000, and Japanese companies generally don’t give raises unless you get promoted. On top of that, there are all kinds of deductions and fees (such as the employee welfare committee), yet they provide absolutely nothing in return. For example, the quality of the employee break room is tens of thousands of times worse than the dining area used by customers outside.
2. Understaffing: Because the revenue figures don’t look good, they cut staff and don’t hire replacements when vacancies arise. Management says, “Revenue is bad—where would we get the money to hire people?” Then, because there aren’t enough employees to provide good service, there are constant customer complaints, and management turns around and blames us for having so many complaints.
3. Excessive workload: The understaffing means that one person has to handle the workload of about three people. Management also demands a host of additional tasks, such as hawking products, cleaning the sales floor (there used to be dedicated cleaning staff, but their contracts weren’t renewed because revenue was poor), and handing out samples.
Overall, this is a very poor working environment for both employees and customers. Employees can’t handle the workload, and customers can’t find good products to buy.
