    What’s it like working at Yakult?

    AI summary of recent reviews

    Yakult offers a positive work environment characterised by friendly colleagues and supportive Japanese leadership. The company provides good benefits including rice allowance, generous leave entitlements, and performance bonuses, while employees appreciate the flexible working arrangements that allow them to manage their schedules effectively.

    However, some areas for improvement include the compensation package, which is considered less competitive compared to market standards. Sales staff face the ongoing challenge of meeting monthly sales targets, and the company experiences some difficulties with recruitment and retention of talent.

    Nice place to work but not the best place to stay.
    The good thingsI enjoy working with my colleagues. The stress level in the company is still manageable. I like how the Japanese executives lookout for their employees.
    The challengesOne of the challenges I experience is filling up the vacancies with best applicants. Addition to this, the compensation and benefits of the company. It is not that competitive compare to other known company, though they have good benefits, enough to sustain your needs.
