Actually, HACS/CREW does break down your pay specifically - like you're used to (assuming you're in the States). But I have heard some of the non-US guys complaining about the pay "layout" also. Otherwise, I've only heard positives about HACS. And of PARC also.

Like LostInAsia said, the new pay and QOL are definitely better than anything in the US - and if you decide to live in Japan, it's even a bigger frosting on the cake. BUT, you have to get through the training first...
