Amazing Place to Work :) - Avis employé Showroom Associate Rikumo

i worked at rikumo for over a year pros: - all employees are welcomed and contributions recognized - i saw a lot of positive changes from employee suggestions - family-run small business, so not corporate in all the good ways - amazing products from Japan

- some team leaders had better personal skills than others, so a lot depended on your team (the negative review above was written by someone i knew with a bad manager--toxic at the time) - the retail and wholesale teams burned through people--hopefully that changed - teams tended toward being cliques - focus on product instead of people at times

Interesting to work with Japanese and speak some japanese. Cool products.

- Don't believe anything management says about advancement or more opportunity. They're saying that so you consider staying longer but they can't offer any advancement due to their company size. It's a lie. They should be more honest about their trajectory and anticipate people leaving and seek to have true relationships with the people that come in and out. There's no advancement or salary opportunity so people will inevitably leave. - Management over time began to betray employees. They would literally change the schedule the day of or the day before employees were to show up and work, such as cutting hours by half an hour, etc. It was horribly wrong and people have bills to pay and mouths to feed. If the company was in such a state then they should have been up front. Unfortunately management began to be dishonest. Don't expect loyalty from this employer. - This company is not wise in their growth strategy. It looks pretty and nice and the will tell you about all the great stuff their doing/going to do. But it's largely unrealistic. It's model is not scalable. It won't get any bigger than where it is now. - They hire young graduates who are naive and take advantage of them.
