Pros

Decent benefits and annual bonus. You might also get to work along side some great people (not all & not management) and that is pretty much it.

Cons

Management can't be trusted and no real true encouragement to grow and a lot of lip service. Managers will talk behind your back and think you will not find out (everyone talks). A lot of great value's written on the wall, but sad to say there's no action behind them. Completely Pro-Management like I never experienced before, learned most of them recruited each other because of prior friendships (not qualifications). However, there are a few good Mangers to be under and you will be lucky if you find yourself on their team, but just not enough. Overall was one of my worst experience with a Company. No real valued growth that I will take with me other than what red flags to look for with other companies. Tell you what you want to hear and that's about it. Just be AWARE and make sure to ask the right questions in the interview do not be blinded by the Yamaha name its not worth it! I now even have a hard time trusting my new employer from the experience here, just be careful! This sole speaks to YMFUS (Yamaha Motor Finance Corp.)

Pros

Very wide range of products and outstanding quality, which is a Yamaha hallmark. Good benefits.

Cons

The joke is that the parent company - Yamaha Motor Corp. (YMC) actually stands for Yamaha Meeting Corp. Lots of time spent in meetings and preparing PPT presentations for meetings and slogging through emails. Not uncommon to prepare at least three PPTs in a single week and attend three meetings a day, which severely impacts productivity. Very reactive business culture, often having to prepare reports for Japanese and realizing they aren't really read but simply passed up the line. This was proven when I learned to recycle presentations and simply changed the date. Business units not helpful to each other. Invitations to be involved are typically nothing more than attempts to secure your budget to subsidize their tactics and goals. No clear strategic approach - simply stringing tactics together. Many managers in place for decades. Often hear, "We want new ideas" but when new ideas are presented they're met with, "That's not the way we do it here." Human Resources personnel, not surprisingly, is very weak and unable to strike a balance between the employees' and the company's needs. Many employees simply riding the gravy train to retirement or holding on until a better opportunity comes along. The company is severely hamstrung by processes and procedures, reactive assignments, restrictive IT policies, and fear of lawsuits (due to a class action lawsuit involving the Rhino, which was baseless and Yamaha won but left the company shit-scared to do anything). Financially they are challenged while competitors have returned to profitability, yet they continue to say it's because of 2008.

Pros

No good reasons, nothing is worth you sanity and mental state of mind and personal self esteem. Run far from this company. Like nothing I’ve ever seen before or could ever even imagined existed in this day and age. So much racial, sexual, and age discrimination it’s pathetic. So far behind. I can’t understand why not one single person in management has a clue what they are doing. It’s like people enter the doors and become warped of all common sense and knowledge. The benefits are cheap but some companies are offering free medical. The loan pool lets you flex with your friends as if you have some prestige, not worth the bs that comes along with the company. The job is easy because the higher ups are so dumb they dumb down a job that should be so much more complex. Not because the job is easy in nature but because they are too stupid to make it as complex as it really should be. If you want to keep any level of mental stability and not want to come home and have to overdose on 20 pills to lead a normal life then do not work here. They are so terrible they can’t even recruit decent talent. They recruit imbosols like the mgmt. just do yourself a favor and run

Cons

Read the pros. Everything abt this company is a con. Ymfus is ran by a bunch of Ivy League liars that come in office and play jeopardy with you while making dumb decision after dumb decision. The company is full of discrimination and it’s just a sickening place this place has made my metal health terrible. Nothing is good about the place ghetto managers that talk about twerking and sex scapades and gangs in the middle of the floor that have no capacity to even formulate an email. The list doesn’t end just don’t work here, you will be making the best decision of your life to see a ad from them and keep moving. Go clean a toilet, work in a warehouse anything but ymfus! I’d rather work in a brothel than work for ymfus! At least I’d have my mental peace again!
