Pros

Love my job. Love the flexibility I have. Happy with my compensation/bonuses. Benefits on par with other companies. Lots of good products and some great ones. Lots of seasoned professionals. Good comradery.

Cons

The Ikon merger has been a huge disruption. Things are slowly getting better but there's too much Ikon management style overhead which in my opinion which is stunting Ricoh's growth. The only upside has been the huge customer base to sell to. So far though there's too much segmentation, too much us (Ikon) vs. them (RBS). The old dealer-style attitude of box sales prevails and runs counter to solutions-based sales. Too many little dictators. Too much political favoritism. Personal cubicles too small. People are treated fairly but are expected to work long hours. Not enough formal recognition.

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
