Instructor

"ARIGATO is a place where even after the vacations "ARIGATO is a
company that makes you want to go there.
It's a company that I want to go to."

After graduating from an esthetic school, I worked in a beauty salon as a beauty advisor giving advice on inner beauty. In the process, I decided I wanted to work in a job related to external beauty, so I joined ARIGATO. The deciding factors were that I thought I would enjoy working there and the fact that they were closed on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. I have a child, so I was looking for a job that would allow me to work until 6:00 p.m., but I couldn't find such a company anywhere else. I was surprised that such a company existed, because I thought I could not work in the beauty business unless I worked until late.
Currently, I am in charge of training and seminars for distributors and salons. I give seminars on our products, seasonal seminars, counseling seminars, and many other things. I am happy when I hear comments such as "I learned a lot" or "I would like to try it. I also feel rewarded when owners tell me after a course or seminar that their customers were pleased with my work.

An environment where
you can learn a lot of extra environment to learn.

It takes about 2 hours from my house to the office, so I am usually allowed to choose whether to work in the office or remotely, at my own initiative. I enjoy spending time in the office and I love the members so much that I would actually like to come here every day if it were closer (laughs). I used to think "I don't want to go to work" after vacations, but ARIGATO is a company that makes me want to go.

Also, in terms of skill development, I can learn a lot from the environment because we are entrusted with various types of work, from strategic planning to designing flyers.

My bosses recognize my individuality and
They recognize your individuality and develop you.

To be honest, I haven't felt much hardship at work (laughs). I think it's because my bosses recognize and develop my individuality. They look at me not because I am an instructor, or because I am in the sales department, but because I am Mr. Sasayama, and I think that has led to my growth.
I have been an instructor for a short period of time, so I still need help from many people. If you are going to join us in the future, let's join together and bring excitement to many people.

Branded Products/Product Director

"The joy of creating
one from parts of zero."
That's the best motivation.Maybe.

"Before ARIGATO, I was a medical office worker, left after marriage and childbirth, and then worked as a sales clerk for another company when my second child was born. I had always decided on a company based on "conditions" rather than "the work I wanted to do," but I was attracted to the sparkling atmosphere of ARIGATO and the fun atmosphere of the company, so I joined the company.

Currently, I belong to a department called the Product Department and am involved in product development. I am in charge of how to make the contents of products and containers, from the zero to the one, and finally to the completion of the product. It is fascinating to be able to be involved in the actual product development process, from the initial "I want to make it" to actually giving it shape while imagining what it would be like if a customer picked it up. That's why I feel a great deal of emotion and satisfaction when the product is completed. When I place an order, I get nervous because the order unit is thousands of pieces, but I do it with a sense of responsibility and a sense of urgency. "

They give me proper recognition for my hard work.
"They give me proper recognition for my hard work.

At ARIGATO, you can experience things that you can't at other companies. It seems like a matter of course now, but it's the same with the president's interviews with various celebrities, and also with the evaluations, where normally the number of years of service is important, but here they evaluate your achievements and your hard work in one year. So it is satisfying, motivating, and makes me want to work harder. The other thing is the 2-week vacation, which is something to look forward to during the year and is like a bonus (laughs).

My co-workers are always there for everyone.
"My colleagues always say 'thank you' to everyone.

The president always takes the initiative to say "thank you" to everyone. We have a culture of giving and receiving "thank yous" not only from the president, but also in each and every communication with colleagues who work with us. The environment and culture where we can all say "thank you" to each other on a daily basis, and where we can appreciate and respect each other's work, is the most motivating for me. I want to continue to challenge myself to do what I feel I want to do, even if it is not right now. When you communicate what you are interested in, your awareness and actions will change from there, and various connections will be born. I want to do what I can do now to achieve my goals. If you are going to join ARIGATO, let's get excited together!

Sales

We are a company that makes its own rails, not the ones that are laid down.
We are a company that makes its own rails.

My previous job was importing and wholesaling seafood-related products. I would go overseas to buy raw materials and take them to Southeast Asia to offer as ingredients for major conveyor-belt sushi restaurants. But I was hit hard by Corona and my salary dropped. At that time, I thought about my future life. The company wouldn't protect me, and I needed to be able to make money on my own. Then I joined an online marketing school to start a side business. There, through the owner of a beauty salon, I met Ms. Muro, the president's sister, and that was the beginning of my contact with ARIGATO.

At first, I was involved in the underwear business as a helper, but the president, Mr. Yamazaki, asked me, "Are you enjoying your current job? If not, why don't you try working for us in sales? If not, why don't you try sales at our company? I had always seen the people at ARIGATO who were always sparkling and enjoying their work, and I decided to join the company because I wanted to be involved with people like that.

ARIGATO is All of us are seriously looking for what we can do.
We are seriously looking for what we can do.

Currently, as a sales person, I am engaged in sales activities for corporate clients, such as salons that operate multiple stores. At first, I came from a different industry, so I had to learn a lot, and it was tough because I didn't get the results I wanted. But my boss and the people around me guided me and taught me how to do things in a way that suited me. What I felt when I joined ARIGATO is that everyone is seriously looking for what they can do. People tend to think that a company that looks like fun is just fun, but in reality, there is a kind of passion to achieve more numbers, to improve the company, and so on.

I want to achieve my goals.
I'm not alone, I'm a team. It's okay.

ARIGATO is a company where each person makes their own rails, instead of running on the rails laid out by the company. It's not a startup, but it's a company where you can realize what you want to do and have fun while challenging yourself. If you like that kind of thing, I think this is the right place for you. My goal for the future is to absolutely achieve the budget. Of course, there is pressure, but I want to achieve it through trial and error, not by myself but with my team. The reason we were able to achieve our target numbers at Beauty World was because we all worked together. I was very impressed because it was a number made possible by everyone's hard work in this way. Now, I am able to work while feeling connected not only with customers but also with my colleagues.

PR/Public Relations

This is a place where you can do what you want to do.
A place where I can make it happen.

I was assigned to my current position as a new graduate. I am entrusted with the president's secretary and PR/Public Relations.
Actually, the president is my aunt, and we never usually talked about work, but I always looked at social networking sites, and I joined ARIGATO because I thought, "I want to work with the president anyway .

After joining the company, I was involved in various tasks and was often asked to make videos, etc. I gradually came to think that "I want to do PR work that only I can do," and I told them that I wanted to do that. I told them that I wanted to do PR work that only I could do, and they granted my wish. I think it is quite unusual for a newcomer to suddenly become a PR/public relations manager, but the president was very supportive. Now, as a PR/public relations manager, my main job is to communicate the company to the outside world, such as managing Instagram and accompanying magazine photo shoots. Of course, I also accompany the president and play the role of secretary while thinking of daily SNS topics and sometimes taking pictures of the president's private life.
Recently, I have also taken on the challenge of operating TikTok. We dance together, and since the members of the company are all unique and interesting, we are trying to communicate not only the products but also the appeal of the company.

It is very rewarding to be able to give shape to my ideas.
I find it very rewarding.

Internally, I also shoot and edit interesting videos for the company. It's a tough job because there are no right answers, so I have to think for myself, but it's very rewarding to be able to give shape to my ideas. I started this job not as a professional, but because I really like it, so I always think about what I can do to convey the ARIGATO style. There are times when I have trouble coming up with ideas, but I am happy when people are pleased with the videos I make, so I use that as motivation to do my best. I am also reassured by the advice I get from people in the company. I also get to meet a lot of people every day, and I get good inspiration from the work of professionals, so I think that's part of my growth.

As for the happy system, I'm still happy to have two weeks off.
I'm still happy to have two weeks off.

I am very happy to have two weeks off. The company's action guideline includes the item "cherish your family," and I am grateful for this system because it allows me to refresh myself and spend time with my family and partner, and it makes it possible for me to achieve this. It has been difficult for me to take time for my family in the past, but thanks to this system, I was able to go on a family vacation for the first time in a long time.
I hope that those who will work with us in the future will be able to do what they want to do because ARIGATO is a place where they can make what they want to do come true.
