Really?? Suzanne, how did you like it? What is the environment? This is in their sales dept.

Yes, it is in Lake Success

Jan05Bride, do you know if she enjoys it? The overall company, I mean.

Not high payers but a good company. REALLY nice christmas parites, christmas bonus. Cool things like this enviorment club to belong to and most of the people are very nice. There are alot of Japanese employees that do not speak english as they only come here for a few months and go back to Canon Inc.

They have a GREAT BBQ in the summer in the parking lot.. its a pretty fun place to work. they have alot of holidays off too..

What sales? Camera or Copier?

My friend said that it depends on the department.

She personally doesn't like it - but that's b/c of her boss, not because of the company.

She said the pay isn't that great.

She says for sales, you'll probably travel a lot.

She then said you should go and find out though for yourself, that her opinion is just hers and her situation there

My brother's ex gf works there. She worked there every summer and for all her breaks at college. They hired her full time when she graduated, I do not know what dept. she's in but I know she gets paid pretty decent.
She likes it alot. When she graduated her dept. gave her a canon cam for a graduation present. It's nice!!

ETA: Good luck!! I hope you get it if it''s what you want!!
