Canon – “Canon Business Solutions: A good place to get training, a bad place if you have any experience.”

Pros

Canon is a large company that is able to provide great support systems that other small competitors do not have available to them. Canon Business Solutions offers great health benefits packages. For people at the beginning of their careers, Canon offers excellent training programs.

Cons

Canon is too slow to react to market changes in order to stay competitive. The decision making and processes are too inflexible to stay up to date with the changing sales environment. It seems like upper management is out of touch with the real situation in the market place. In addition, the employee moral is extremely low. This could be a result of the compensation packages being lower than industry averages.

Advice to Senior Management

More decision making power needs to be given on a local level. Canon loses many opportunities due to slow decision making.
