Kyocera Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"Zero-tolerance policy is not tolerated.  First, allow me to lay out some pros and cons:  Pros ?There are chances to grow and further build your skillset. ?The benefits are good compared to some other companies. ?Job security is among the best. Cons ?You will more than likely be paid below the midpoint of the comparison ratio. ?A good portion of the managers fall short when it comes to people skills; there are a lot of temper tantrums that are passed off as being "passionate" instead of a total lack of maturity. ?Cheapness runs deep, and people often buy their own supplies. My main complaint: In spite of the employee handbook stating that they do not tolerate violence or bullying in the workplace and that any offenders will be immediately terminated, it turns out that this is nothing more than a bluff. A fight broke out between two female employees, with one attempting to attack the other but being stopped by another employee physically intervening. Three weeks later, no witnesses were questioned, and the female who committed the assault hasn’t faced termination or any other consequences. Despite this not being her first problem that resulted in trips to HR, it's all back to business as usual. Why have a zero-tolerance policy in your handbook if you evidently have no intentions of following it? There was also a male employee who was allowed to harass multiple women before something was finally done. Kudos to them for finally terminating the man's employment, but something was supposed to have been done after the second, if not the first, and not the sixth or seventh complaint. To wrap this up, you are much better off giving your time to an organization that won’t simply let situations fester but will take action based on rules that they themselves have established. Find a company that values your safety as much as you do and commits itself to a hostile-free environment. Good hunting."

"Great place to work, 401k and Pension, great medical PPO. Employees are the company's greatest asset. Flexible work schedule 1 remote day per week. Many employees have been with us for a long time and we are a bunch of small families working together for a common goal."

"Kyocera is guided by its corporate Kyocera Philosophy which was written by Founder Emeritus, Kazuo Inamori. This Philosophy teaches solid business practices that have produced a profit for over 50 years Kyocera has been in business. It also guides employees to be humble and to be team players. This is refreshing not to have to deal with highly inefficient corporate politics. Kyocera has a pension plan and excellent benefits."
