Mitsui - Anonymous employee Mitsui Foods Employee Review

Enjoyed working at the company, met amazing coworkers and acquired many skills.

None that i can think of

Four weeks of vacation since your start date and early 3PM dismissal on Fridays all year round.

While PTO is generous initially, there is no ability to work remotely due to personal or weather related emergencies. The business is not doing well financially. As employees leave the company management tries to keep costs low by giving existing staff more work, with no change in compensation. It is also extremely difficult to get promoted unless that you are of Japanese ascendance. Whenever there is a VP opening, Mitsui brings someone from Japan to fill in the position. This was very discouraging, mostly for people were there10+ years and who had to constantly train Japanese executives to learn the business. I saw many other unfair things happening to employees but I will summarize by saying I don't think there's much time left in their Norwood location. Most of the good employees have already left.
