Pros
Honestly i love working in a Japanese company, most colleagues are nice and helpful in a way due to how we were trained to be for customer service. (at least thats how i feel). Pay increased for part timers which is acceptable and reasonable for part timers.
Cons
The management in my outlet sucks. Very toxic environment to work in. Alot of backstabbing and two faced people. The day i tender the whole store knows. Basically saying what they say and badmouth about you will spread like wildfire. Even as a Part timer you would need to support other outlets, which is what a full timer would need to do. If its nearby can understand, sometimes further outlets need support but ask part timers to do. I have been to another outlet to support for over a month or two. i could say the same about the management there too. My training outlet was so much more different and everyone was so patient with me. It all depends on which outlet you end up in, but for the spreading of things, just watch out and ignore them. Ignorance is sometimes a blessing. My store manager did not even consider how i would feel and “announced” it infront of everyone to ask if i would like to do an exit interview even though i just gave the letter to them discreetly. The turnover rate in one of the other outlets is very high too, due to the constant non stop queue. Management only comes out once in awhile to support cashiers resulting in most of the cashiers in the outlet exhausted.
