Worst place to work, no real leadership!

Pros

Good pay is the only good thing at this company

Cons

Everything from hostile work environment, long hours, silos, never promotes within, too many managers, not enough workers to actually do the job, executive management doesn't care about their employees, management is totally disconnected from employees point of view and experiences, worst place I've ever worked.

They don't learn

Pros

It used to be a great place to work, not any more, now its crumbling faster than DirectTV. But if I have to add something, its a job with benefits. that's about it

Cons

They don't learn! Panasonic was hit with a huge federal fine for bribery and corruption. Now they are violating federal law by age discrimination. Documented proof that the company has been and still actively targeting senior employees for layoff .

Pros

Great brand name. Benefits are good. Still the leader in IFE but is losing its edge. Knows how to put and maintain boxes on aircraft. Global MRO business is run well. Wants to do what is best for its customers.

Cons

CEO is a caretaker put there by Japan. COO is in way over his head (his previous boss left to head up Zodiac IFE, which is doing increasingly well with him leading it. It's obvious which of them was the executive responsible for PAC's prior operational success). Management brought in from GE are worse than clueless (explians a lot about why GE failed). Culture varies but toxic in some areas. The best people are leaving in droves, resulting in a serious loss of institutional knowledge. IFE business is in decline due to both cyclical and competitive reasons. Program management is overburdened and poorly led. IFC business appears to be in what is probably an unrecoverable spin.
