Pros

Can't think of any good here except a parking spot really

Cons

An absolute joke. The continuous decline of the print industry will see Ricoh Australia as a classic example of why they went bust before the others. Such a polluted environment internally and the moment you enter the first floor you'll see agitated, stressed, red eyed zombies that are crushing their soul every moment just for the sake of keeping a job and paying their bills and this is what everyone there will tell you. Blame shifters all around especially in finance. Do not waste your time, resources and effort here as you will just deteriorate your health and sanity. Sales is still a good department to be in and they work hard to bring in any money that's left in this dying company. Systems are useless, hang every hour creating massive workload for everyone involved. Billing is quite questionable and you'll need to leave your ethics out of the door if you work in billings or credit. I would strongly recommend to steer clear this place in North Ryde as you will be micromanaged every minute by very unhappy people who have massive inferiority complex. Groups of females can be seen gossiping around and shifting blames and make it almost impossible for you to survive if you are a good performer and moreso a happy person. They don't like happy people in there. Why join a company where you will be treated like a nobody? I know people who left in depression and had to take counselling because of the emotional trauma they had to go through. PS: I am leaving next week

Pros

• Decent pay • Great benifits • Car allowance/reimbursement for a personal vehicle and depreciation • The ability to travel and build relationships with customers • Learning mechanical and electrical skills • Independence and teamwork

Cons

• They just started enforcing the new commute policy which requires technicians to now give the company an hour of their time to and from work, if the customer is that distance away from their home at the beginning or end of day. Ultimately stealing up to 2 hours from the technician every single day and effectively punishing you for living so far away from a customer site. • Always coming with new ways to screw over technicians. They also just implemented new metrics that contribute to or take away from your bonus. • Sales reps usually always get the wrong equipment delivered to a customer and you have to be the one to deal with a screwed up mess • Lack of communication between sales/deliveries/management
