Panduit Reviews

Cons

You will not get rich working at Panduit. However, the positives out weigh the negatives here.

Cons

Disorganized entry/orientation process, difficult integration/understanding of org structure and policies

Cons

- Promotes people into important Manager positions based on tenure, not qualifications. Think pointy-haired boss.
- Manager harped on perceived weaknesses and ignored strengths, ignoring workplace studies that show that employees flourish with praise and withdraw with verbal beatings. Going to HR wasn't a real possibility because HR is part of the problem and seems to only care about protecting the company.
- Questionable ethics regarding software licenses.

Cons

the main one is fear over being the next person to have your job eliminated. fear motivates people but it does not bring out their best.

Cons

New management destroyed what was a successful operation for the company and employees. The majority of former management treated us like people often showing empathy for personal situations.
2-3 years ago new management took over. They followed to trend of many companies - weeding out high priced older employees replacing them with cheaper labor. The problem is how they did it. They tried to ruin reputations of good people instead of offering them a respectful way out.
What has happened since has been disgraceful and unethical. Everyone knows what's going on behind the scenes. I guess if you save the comapny millions you can sleep with whoever you want.

Cons

Poorly managed and knee jerk reactions galore.

Cons

The worst customer service I've ever worked in. The employees in this department do not matter to management and it's a dumping ground for what others don't want to do. Changes are touted as good for CS but it's really to benefit sales and marketing. Ultimately this adds more work for an overworked under appreciated department. Treated like work horses.

Cons

The department I started in was known for keeping temps as temps for long periods of time when they should've been made permanent long ago. Temps end up being used as cheap, replaceable labor and not treated like people there to improve their own lifestyle. They led me to think they were in the process of finding me a permanent position just to string me along for a longer period before firing me.
New management brought in and messed up the flow of operations.
Seasoned employees felt threatened and try to get you fired.

Cons

Limited room for advancement, too much cover your butt situations, things are done backwards and fear of layoffs is always present, management pushes "Do More with Less," management wants you to do the work of 2.5 people. Many positions are low level and trying to improve yourself or your position is futile. Major management changes happen every 2 to 3 years and when this happens the entire organizational structure of the company changes, causing a ripple down affect that pushes any type of development progress to a halt and makes everything you did prior to the change, for naught.

Cons

Executives and employees unwilling to change
