Pros

Amazing products and it use to be an amazing company.

Cons

PAC was an amazing company with quality products, competent leaders (who are now gone) and an amazing workforce. While some leaders were blamed for DOJ violations, this was the result of Japan and NJ leadership that had full knowledge of the situation for the last decade. They threw the old leadership under the bus and removed a key leader that had been reporting this but HQ illegally hit it. The wrong people were held accountable in violation of the law. Incompetent CEO currently who fails to follow the basic business principles he speaks of. Shame shame shame. The founder Matsushita was an amazing man who would have tears in his eyes at what has happened with this Company over the last year.

Worst place to work ever

Pros

Pay was decent for the market and until about 8 years ago they knew what they were doing.

Cons

Management has no clue what they are doing. Nepotism and favoritism runs rampant. The higher up a dept chain you go the more clueless the managers are about how the department actually works. Lower level managers typically make up ridiculous “processes” that are more or less a pieced together guess of how things actually work. If you speak out you will be crucified here. Layers and layers of management make it easy to hide how stupid the people running the place into the ground are. The highest up managers are in place because of who they know or because the previous management was fired for legal reasons so they got slapped in there without any idea what they are doing. They created a culture committee that’s the laughing stock of the company because doughnuts and fake promises of change are not a positive culture. People working here are biding their time looking for other work or just keeping their heads down to get a paycheck.

Run and don’t look back

Pros

You can basically run the show if you know what you’re doing. Don’t have to put in much effort to do the job.

Cons

Many people at PAC are unqualified to do their job. Most were hired through referrals with no past experiences and only with high school diploma. Pay is very low and annual increases are 2% at best. When you voice your opinion, management will take that as a threat and do anything to push you out or demote you. I’ve seen it one too many times. Don’t join this company, it’s a ship that’s been sinking with a headless captain.
