Insurance premiums are very affordable.

Everyone is friendly and approachable.

Friendly, knowledgeable, welcoming, and kind.

Friendly, welcoming, helpful, kind, fun to spend time with.

Being able to use my creativity to solve problems.

They communicate company goals and challenges clearly with the company.

Open and honest about company's goals, challenges, financial situation, etc.

Insurance premiums (health, dental, vision) are much lower here than elsewhere.

Health, vision, and dental insurance are very generous and my premiums are easily affordable.

5% contribution from company toward 401(k) and low premiums for health, vision, and dental insurance.

The work is rewarding, especially when I am able to work closely with my coworkers.

Medical and dental benefits are superb, and premiums are very low compared to most other workplaces.

My coworkers are friendly, fun to interact with, and helpful. They make the days more fun.

Employees with less experience and education earn more than I do at the same job title.

They are open to suggestions from staff and often work to incorporate them if they are feasible.

Everyone is friendly and the culture is fairly laid-back. Everyone is encouraged to continue learning and improving their skills.

Annual raises are less than inflation, which effectively makes them pay cuts. Salary is already lower than others in the area.

Welcoming and friendly, always willing to lend a hand when needed. Varied backgrounds and education, resulting in a diversity of ideas and perspectives.

The company hierarchy is reasonably flat and the leadership (at least in my department) treats us as equals and welcomes feedback and suggestions.

Members of the leadership team take the time to learn what is happening at all levels of the company, not just the higher level things that they deal with day to day.

Other employees with less experience and education earn more than me. Also, lack of paid parental leave is abysmal. Japan offers 4 weeks (still not enough), but Hoshizaki America provides almost nothing.

Salary is below industry average. Recently hired coworkers with less experience in the field and less education are earning more than me. Lack of paid paternal and maternal leave is far below an acceptable amount, especially considering Japan allows up to 1 year for both fathers and mothers.

Annual raises are below inflation. Raises below inflation might as well be pay cuts. In addition, paid parental leave is nonexistent. As far as I've been told, only 3 days are given for the birth of a child. Japan, home of HJ, offers significantly more for both mothers and fathers.
