Pros

Senior Management is held accountable for results - this isn't a place where underlings pay for poor decisions by Senior Management. Equitable distribution of pay - the leaders can only make a certain multiple of the lowest paid employee (Japanese style). We don't have people getting really rich while the company is losing money. A very stable company financially, through conservative financial management.

Cons

There are some very "tenured people" in middle and upper management that don't really get what it is the company is trying to become. It is not unusual for an entire department to be staffed with people who have been with Ricoh (or Lanier, or Savin) for over 30 years. Experience is good, but you will never get fresh ideas out of a group made up solely of "lifers".

Pros

• Decent pay • Great benifits • Car allowance/reimbursement for a personal vehicle and depreciation • The ability to travel and build relationships with customers • Learning mechanical and electrical skills • Independence and teamwork

Cons

• They just started enforcing the new commute policy which requires technicians to now give the company an hour of their time to and from work, if the customer is that distance away from their home at the beginning or end of day. Ultimately stealing up to 2 hours from the technician every single day and effectively punishing you for living so far away from a customer site. • Always coming with new ways to screw over technicians. They also just implemented new metrics that contribute to or take away from your bonus. • Sales reps usually always get the wrong equipment delivered to a customer and you have to be the one to deal with a screwed up mess • Lack of communication between sales/deliveries/management
