Business Outlook

Pros

All employees must take 5 consecutive days of annual leave every year at all levels from junior to senior staff. Usage rate of paid leave is more than 90%. High growth is expected to continue due to strong demand of air conditioner especially for developing countries.

Cons

Long working hour during the new project (ex. Assembly line install/upgrade for new product launch). Sometimes needs to work on weekend and during long holiday (New year, Golden week, and Obon holiday) in order to avoid regular production hours. Able to get alternative leave though.
