Mitsubishi Logistics America

John Iguchi, this guy is absolutely a good for nothing loud mouth. This company needs to fire this kind of useless salesperson, no productivity. Below comment is from indeed: While here at Mitsubishi Logistics America (MLAC), we have had lots of turn-over. Most from the company \swapping-out\ the General Managers every 5 years. and the complete Headquarters every 5 to 7 years. The President of MLAC, is changed every 2 years on average. couple this with the cultural differences. American employees are required to take a cultural differences sensitivity training every 2 years. This way they can be \Sensitive\ to the needs of the Japanese employees who are sent to the U.S. But, over the years as I have been told, there is no training of the sort for the Japanese employees. As well, the highest position in the company an American can obtain is Department manager. If lucky and you are the Air Freight Manager, The facility TSA coordinator. Cultural differences are a major problem. Suspicion on the part of the Japanese employees is always an issue, whereas it is believed the American employees are \up to something\. At times the underlying feeling is that the American employees are less then those of the Japanese employees. This is fostered by the fact that when the upper management comes to the U.S. as General Managers and Deputy General Managers, they have only recently worked in Japan as a new hire in a coordinators position. Therefore most Japanese managers have little knowledge of logistics to pull experience from. This inherently breeds problems as the position of a General Manager is placed on them, but in reality, they have no long term management skills or experience.
