Ricoh reviews

Mistreatment of minorities and women. Middle managers who have been in the business 20+ years are just hanging on for a paycheck. Extremely hostile atmosphere. Everyone is afraid to make a mistake because you will be yelled at. Advancement based completely on flattering manager. Japan leadership does not give clear direction to US team. Layoffs will commence again in early 2013.

Extremely high turnover. Most employees last less than a year, and turnover here is higher than the rest of the industry. Low base pay, extremely low commission and bonus opportunity, even if you're over quota. Managers are forced to micromanage all employees, regardless of performance. If you want to do well here, you need to work at least 12 hours a day - be in the office before 7, get out in the field by 9, back to the office at 5, don't leave til 7 or 8. Internal processes are a nightmare right now, due to the Ricoh/IKON merger, inventory constraints and billing issues. Way too many internal meetings and pointless trainings.
