Pros

The cafeteria food is good and sushi days are awesome - but the Caf is a contracted company outside of Ricoh

Cons

Will not let you work from home when you work at Corporate HQ; Training is through an online university and unless you have someone who will take you around and introduce you, it's sink or swim from the first day; Must always be dressed up - never a casual atmosphere except on Fridays and even then there are rules; "There's no such thing as Comp Time" but you work at least 1 weekend a month; "Sick" time taken for a child who is sick will be held against you over time - they do not want you using family as a reason for you not being at work. NO chance for advancement! You constantly work late, and in early and you are watched to make sure you ONLY take an hour for lunch and not more. There is no summer hours in any department which there are no back-ups for your job (almost every)... Ricoh is just not with modern times and using Unified Communications as a means of doing business. Very old school and not for conducive to hiring younger generations!

Pros

Creative Services team in North America is led by an absolutely stellar Brand Director, with a fantastic team that continues to smash it. The wider business and fellow employees have always been genuinely kind, and the office environment is very friendly as well.

Cons

I truly can't think of any! The team and atmosphere is great!

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
