Honestly, I really can’t think of anything.
1. Low pay: Only around 30,000 or so, and Japanese companies generally don’t give raises unless you get promoted. On top of that, there are all kinds of fees deducted from your salary that you’re required to pay (such as the employee welfare committee fee), yet they provide absolutely nothing in return. For example, the employee break room is tens of thousands of times worse than the dining area used by customers.
2. Staff shortages: Because the revenue figures don’t look good, they cut staff and don’t fill vacancies. Management says, “Revenue is poor—where would we get the money to hire people?” Then, because there aren’t enough staff to provide good service, there are constant customer complaints, and management turns around and blames everyone for there being so many complaints.
3. Excessive workload: Staff shortages mean that one person has to handle the workload of roughly three people. Management also requires a lot of additional duties, 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 get good products to purchase.
