Pros
Senior Management is held accountable for results - this isn't a place where underlings pay for poor decisions by Senior Management. Equitable distribution of pay - the leaders can only make a certain multiple of the lowest paid employee (Japanese style). We don't have people getting really rich while the company is losing money. A very stable company financially, through conservative financial management.
Kontras
There are some very "tenured people" in middle and upper management that don't really get what it is the company is trying to become. It is not unusual for an entire department to be staffed with people who have been with Ricoh (or Lanier, or Savin) for over 30 years. Experience is good, but you will never get fresh ideas out of a group made up solely of "lifers".
