      Pros

      They have a very good benefit package. People working there are down to earth and fun to work with. They provide huge employee discounts on company products such as piano and motorcycles. Management is good as far as taking care of employees. If you work as an engineer or marketing person, you would have an opportunity to test ride the products you develop and it is fun. The company makes ATV, Golf car and Water Vehicle.

      Cons

      Manufacturing company does not really provide a big raise. Especially, Japanese companies are known to take good care of employees with good benefits but they don't give a huge monetary compensation. Seniority seems to be considered for promotion rather than performance. Management is good but can be improved. It is hard to get promoted to management positions since the parent company in Japan keeps sending expatriates to those positions.

      Pros

      The job is fun and had quite a bit of travel and testing that I liked to do. I was also given a lot of freedom to develop my own test programs.

      Cons

      I worked a large amount of overtime with no additional compensation. The managers in the office were in constant disarray and did not get along with each other. Office was socially divided depending on your manager. I never had set goals or direction.
