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.
Honestly, I really can't think of any.
1. Low pay: Only around 30,000, and Japanese companies don't tend to give raises unless you get promoted. On top of that, there are various deductions and fees under different names (such as the employee welfare committee), but they provide absolutely nothing in return. For example, the quality of the employee break room is tens of thousands of times worse than the customer dining area outside.
2. Understaffing: Because the revenue figures don't look good, they cut staff and don't fill vacancies. Management says, “If revenue is so bad, where are we supposed to 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 us for having so many complaints.
3. Excessive workload: Understaffing means that one person has to handle the workload of roughly three people. Management also requires a lot of additional tasks, such as hawking products, cleaning the sales floor (there used to be dedicated cleaning staff, but their contracts were not renewed because revenue was poor), and offering samples.
Overall, this is a very poor work environment for both employees and customers. Employees can't handle the workload, and customers can't get good products to purchase either.

2. Understaffing: Staff are cut when revenue figures don't look good, and vacancies aren't filled because management says, “Revenue is poor—where would we get the money to hire people?” Then, because there aren't enough staff, it's difficult to provide good service, so there are constant customer complaints, and management turns around and blames us for having so many complaints.
3. Excessive workload: Because of the understaffing, one person has to handle roughly the workload of three people.

For example, the employee break room is several thousand times worse than the dining area used by customers.
2.
