Pros

The vast majority of employees have created a very collaborative working environment that enables them to survive the lack of competent management. Most people are very nice to each other by necessity and the need to survive. Non-management employees are what currently holds PAC together.

Cons

Extremely poor leaderships causes a very chaotic working environment. Major changes to processes have been knee jerk reactions without clearly thinking through cause and effect. Upper management (especially newly hired management) has no clue as to what it takes (steps and processes) to actually deliver PAC products. Most managers are promoted not by merit, cut solely on who you know, and how long you have been there. Mid-management is totally burned out and really don't care about what is happening to the company. They are just trying to make it to retirement before total collapse. This has weighed heavily on the employees and devaluated what used to be a great work/life balance.

Pros

Good benefits, Health and Dental, Vision, up to 4% 401k match

Cons

New management has no idea how business supposed to be managed. They are pulling management folks from Intel and Amazon. Taking new development to Oregon where their homes are. Also, sent most of the work to India to show the profitability. The company doesn't have traditional Japanese culture any more under current management as everyone is trying to fill their pockets and looking for their benefits.
