Ricoh reviews

Once Ricoh Purchased IKON the Japanese management placed all IKON sernior staff in power positions and eliminated all legacy Ricoh senior management. This attitude filters down through the regional VP and Area VP of IKON legacy. It was not enough to to already know the issues that Ricoh had internally , IKON Management made it a daily sport to flog the RBS managers into submission. Most legacy IKON management either fired or went after legacy RBS managers in order to place legacy IKON employees in management roles.

US management votes so not equal Japanese management votes. Regardless of research studies and trends, Japanese management in US is more interested in keeping the acquired "C" level managers happy and maintaining a staus quo then the tenured US managers who built the company and want to ensure no distruption to channel partners. Too many late night Japanese meetings that are not open to US managers but who later are expected to impliment the findings from those non-transparent late night closed door meetings. Too many layers of Japanese executives to get approval for minor everyday operational matters.
