Yakult

Organize route schedules and prepare daily reports based on merchandise sales and concerns. Organize promotional displays and set up displays and place various (pop materials) point of purchase materials. I learned a marketing method by working with managers and customers to reach out information facts about this healthy product. Co-workers depend on communication in order to effectively accomplish companies goals. Hardest part of the job was the multi-tasking of confirming demonstrations and finding the right contacts to sale product. The most enjoyable part of the job was interacting with customers and being able to see sales percentages increase and space or coolers fit in the stores to continue the growth of the company.

Language barrier is quite challenging (Learning from Japanese speaking only engineers) to operate machinery

English is a 2nd language to most of the Management of Yakult, but with a little patience, will be able to convey your concerns to them.

Japanese culture oriented facility, so be accustomed switching in and out of shoes regularly through out the facility.

Fun and dedicated co-workers from all experiences, races, and ages

Facility still growing, so there is still much that plant needs to improve on (Safety items mainly). First aid and other gear only located at the main office.

The co-workers were indeed, treat you like their own, like a brotherhood and with respect.

On most days the environment is very quiet. Everyone works in cubicles and sometimes difficult to communicate with other departments as permission is needed. Some personnel is allowed certain advantages over others. Old school Japanese style management. All the head managers are Japanese born ex-pats.I enjoyed the actual work, but not the environment. Difficult to implement a plan as everything has to be passed through the Japanese headquarters and the process can take several weeks. Slow-moving decision making at times. The co-workers are great and the best part of working there.

Decent place to work, pays good. You work weekends every week no exception l, and its pointless but that how the company wants it. It will never change so dont have your hopes up. Also you are forced to take a 1 hour lunch everyday in fear of them being sued for less than 30 mins. Management is very old school and all from traditional Japanese families,  advancement is limited, you could be there for 5 years with no promotion.

My experience with this company was not a positive one, unfortunately. The employee turnover rate was high during my tenure, with three to four new HR managers alone in less than a year. Upper management was not considerate whatsoever of their employees, and they micromanaged. There was no opportunity for growth, especially in upper management. The work atmosphere felt very sterile and uninviting.

There are a lot of safety concerns throughout the work place and it's not often you get two consecutive days off. As far as the management well the fact they let some bad product go out to the customers didn't sit well with me which is why I won't consume their products anymore.  The supervisor showed a lot of favoritism towards certain employees. This is why many employees either quit or are seeking other employment.

Company was fairly new when I started, issues started within the first few days as I was told to create SOPs of my department.  One would think a company so big with factories around the world would already have standard operation practices to be followed,  but no.   They still have a lot of learning and growing to do and understand the basics of supporting your supervising team and not belittling them in mettings.

every day in office, the company has a big potential but management wants you to work at office rather than been out in the field. management is to complicated as their culture is different from the USA culture of work. the hardest part of the job is to over see if the planning is been executed at field level as the job demands 80% office work. the most enjoyable moments is  your lunch time, you get to get out of the office.

Yakult is a professional environment, with a factory side of approx. 80   employees, I work in the office which has approx. 20 employees.  We sponsor the Anaheim Angels and I help organize sales events, and other health events for sampling our product.  I have worked at this office for almost 3 years.

they have this you do what we say and that's all, they ask no opinions from the employes,We work day by day and actually feel like we don't know if we have a secure job, they don't tell us anything the co workers were awesome I mean we had a lot of fun, we felt like we were a team, except for the management,
