Great experience for new 2 year graduates - Lousy for more experienced people.
Pros
For a person with a 2 year degree or less, Panasonic is an excellent place to work. The pay is excellent and opportunities for a 2 year degree employee to grow are excellent. Great co-workers. Large parking lot with many open spaces.
Cons
Leadership and advancement based upon longevity rather abilities. Management lacks the ability to utilize the strengths and talents of the individuals in a group. Lack of initiative of management to make decision in directing activities. No new technology - wait for the competitors to determine the market -then copy the competitors. These items lead to a very high turn-over for people with a 4 yr degree or higher. Excluding Pay and Heath Care, the benefits have disappeared (No bonuses no perks). The general feeling is that the division could close anytime.
