Pros

Good Benefits. The total package is very good

Cons

Environment. When Joe Taylor said "He would never put people in harm's way" at a town hall meeting It appears thet was not true. He also said "Newark is safer than New York city". Sorry both cases are not true. As to the first the new facility is next door to a Methadone Clinic in the Joe Pepe building next door. AND last week a female employee was accosted on the linkway connecting the building with NJ Penn Station. And as to the second point, IF you research crime stats you will find that Newark is MUCH more dangerous than New York City in just about every category of crime. The bottom line is that Secaucus was FAR SAFER than the new location. Penn Station is a den of homeless and beggars as well. Thanks for "placing us in harm's way afterall.

Pros

Great benefits, large company, company car, gas card, some decent training.

Cons

Where to start... lost in the market, clueless as to what customers want and need, stuck in an old "ultra-rugged" mindset that no longer resonates with the market. Selling for Panasonic is likely similar to what the mainframe folks at IBM experienced in the 80's and early 90's- selling a platform that's being taken over by new technology- in that case, client-server. They suffered- badly, and so are Panasonic's sales reps. Panasonic puts all their eggs into ultra-rugged. But when you can purchase a new device, log into it and be exactly where you were when you left off with the damaged device... and within a few minutes thanks to cloud technology... there ceases to be value in paying two-to-three times the amount for an ultra-rugged device. People get that now... the market gets that... prospects definitely get that... only *Panasonic* doesn't seem to get that. And if they don't get that soon... the world is going to see a very, very different (i.e., smaller and less relevant) Panasonic than in the past. My advice to job seekers is to avoid companies that don't get it- instead, work for those who do. Life's just better when you're swimming *with* the stream instead of against it.
