Good Company With One Huge Issue

Pros

If you enjoy Motorsports, this company is for you. A lot of available positions for internal employees if you don't like what you're currently doing.

Cons

The vacation policy is so bad that even if you love your job, you'll end up hating it because you don't have time away. On top of this, it's about as corporate of a feel as you can get and the pay isn't great.

Pros

15+ years with Yamaha, they have great products, great benefits with a good 401k plan. Many opportunities for advancement.

Cons

Management constantly under pressure from Japan, very political environment, no loyalty to employees, you can go from hero to zero in no time with a what have you done for me lately attitude. They have little consideration for personal family and life outside Yamaha and expect complete loyalty to the company.
