Pros
They are finally hiring new leaders and executives. I've been here many years and it was the same ol' thing. Finally new ideas, fresh perspective on things. It is good to see. New VP HR, new CFO, new operations. Alot of needed changes being introduced. Definitely a change is style, it is more aligned with what our Japan headquarters wants. YOu can finally reach out to an HR executive that knows what she is talking about, before just company babysitters with no business sense. Our CFO is ruffling feathers, but we know he needs to do the things he is doing. Jury is still out on Procurement but a lot of people are impressed with this new team. Old team might be a little threatened, so I'm sure they are watching and hopefully being motivated by these new players. Pay is good, our benefits are good, only 401k which is really good but no pension anymore.
Cons
CEO. CEO.CEO. The new CFO should replace him. No one here is sure how he was selected, he is smart, knows our motors and market. He is not an executive leader, he was a better president. He plays favorites and keeps the same players around him at all times and just gives them new titles and promotions. He lacks respect in the business and trust. It's not his integrity or behaviors, he is just not a CEO. We are always waiting for someone coming back and telling us what Japan needs and how we are always not good enough. No motivation to work and succeed. The culture is basically some stupid thing they asked us to stick to our employee badge, no real training.
