The company benefits are truly excellent, and the company is very generous with benefits. The welfare committee is also very generous, and there are gifts and cash bonuses provided from the group’s earnings.

The salary and benefits are above average.

The bureaucratic culture is extremely serious.

There are many long-serving employees just waiting for retirement; the company focuses on neither ability nor innovation and change.

The more senior someone is, the louder they speak—the seniority system is very rigid.

There are a lot of managers who refuse to take responsibility and are very good at pushing the blame onto one another.

It depends on when you join the company. If you join at a good time, the work is healthy and relaxed. The company benefits are fairly decent, but they are almost all tied to spending within the Uni-President Group.

If you are a fan of supermarket brands, it may be worth considering.

As a member of the group, promotion opportunities are not limited to internal roles; transfers may also be considered, and your years of service are recognized.

It depends on when you join the company. If you join at a bad time, there is simply not enough time to put out fires and deal with crises. The feedback you receive will be to work overtime and add manpower, with no regard for whether it can be done in time.

There is no real project mindset; almost everything is carried out according to orders. You could think of it as a civil-service organization that is even more traditional than a traditional industry company.

The company benefits keep getting worse: cash becomes vouchers, vouchers become stored value, and everything is tied to icash. The company takes from the company’s own employees; in the end, everything still has to be returned to the group.

The seniority system within departments is severe. When someone needs help, they turn to senior colleagues; when something goes wrong, everyone just keeps their head down and sees who is unlucky. Senior employees’ experience is not put to good use and instead becomes an unpleasant trait, although fortunately this only applies to certain people.

Internal promotion channels are opaque. Those who complain get rewarded, while those who quietly do their work are worked to death. On the surface, everything appears peaceful and harmonious, but in reality, only those involved know how it truly feels.

None

Cons

They especially love inventing all kinds of terms that do not exist anywhere else in the industry,

but they will not specifically explain what they mean. Don't bother asking, because they won't tell you either.

However, this is work, so you should experience and figure out their... terminology?

Strictly speaking, there is no training.

Due to confidentiality, internal knowledge asset documents are never provided,

even if there is documentation, they will not give it to you when you ask.

Even if you organize your questions before asking, they will only answer by responding with another question.

If the answer does not meet expectations, they will tell you to go back and figure it out for yourself. (???)

They use this information gap to stall until someone higher up becomes concerned, and only then are they willing to explain things little by little, as if squeezing toothpaste from a tube.

Of course, management still has its own unique take on this: “They did explain it; it was just a little late.”

In short, it is a place that closely resembles Japanese workplace culture, but is rather strange and peculiar.

Those who want to experience the kind of hierarchical culture seen in Japanese dramas can try applying.

Good benefits

A great place to retire

You can read novels and comics at work—as long as you don't get caught

Lots of cushy jobs

Pretty women can win the favor of supervisors and receive protection

Conventional, rigid culture

Bureaucratic system

A bunch of control-freak, perverted managers

They’re afraid you’ll steal the spotlight

But they can’t produce any achievements themselves

A bunch of old-timers who are all talk

If you’re too proactive, they say you’re uncontrollable

If you’re not proactive, they say your efficiency is poor

The seniority-based system is severe in the technical departments

As long as you’re inexperienced, being scolded and lectured is an everyday occurrence

In fact, it’s already workplace bullying

Why not speak up? Because it wouldn’t help anyway

The managers are all waiting to retire

They simply don’t want to cause trouble

They can only let those senior old-timers do whatever they want

And then go flatter the managers

Young people should think twice before joining

If you’re just here to collect a salary and enjoy the benefits

And can tolerate this bullying

Then come on in
