Sometimes they focus on things that don't matter and ignore true issues.

From 2014-2017 this division of Panduit was on a meteoric rise. Projects were getting implemented and very close to completed. In 2018 this came to a screeching halt or at least minimal progress. In 2017 managers and employees were on the same page and moving in the same direction, there was a bond and trust between the managers and employees developing that hadn't been there in previous years. In 2018 the trust and bond has been completely fractured and is getting worse. We are returning to the non-transparent cronyism days of old. The situation that some employees are being forced into in order to help or please one of the chosen few is unacceptable. The craziest thing is this group of managers has no idea or would care if they had an idea of how infuriating this is to a large group of employees. Someone above the divisions management level or HR needs to look into what is going on here and start asking some questions. If that is not done soon this divisions moral and trust may not be recoverable. There is a real problem here and it starts at the top of this divisions food chain.
 In early 2018 employees were being pulled aside in groups to give their opinions and input on how we could make the division and company better. We really felt like we were turning another corner and building on 2017. The people chosen to recieve and relay the information could be trusted to keep the contributors names confidential and keep the group in the loop. There were actions taken on the suggestions and it was appreciated by the employees. Well both the group input sessions and the actions that had been taking place have stopped completely since sometime this past summer. There was a forced change in the personnel of the engagement group and that seemed to be the end of it. The juggling of managers has created chaos. We feel sorry for those that were left to try and make things work and deal with all the issues. Upper management in the division has to be blind and/or just don't care if they can't see the negative impact this has had on employees and especially the managers that were left to try and clean up the mess. High energy upbeat managers with positive outlooks have been worn down and look as if they are just hanging by a thread. It's sad to watch it happen. For their own good I hope they move on to something that won't have this effect on their spirit or health.

Many companies are copying the same business model, replacing full time workers with temporary employees, ridding themselves of older and higher cost employees. This is the American way now and that is why Unions will be more prominent in the future.
What separates Panduit from other companies is the Classless way they handle themselves. Target who you want to get rid of. Find an HR person who will do your dirty work. Clean house by spreading lies and creating falsehoods. when the job is done, get rid of that HR person. Do this in all divisions and then get rid of senior HR people. I recently read a review comparing Panduit to the Mob . This was very accurate. They are dirty and its not isolated to one division. It is company wide. Like most companies , it all about profit. The new style is getting the desired results. Doesn't matter how unethical it is.
There is not one person I communicate with that has a positive attitude about being employed here.

Cons

- Strategy changes drastically every 6 months
- They promise things like visiablity into sales but never or partially deliver it which you are rated upon.
- No longer is being a faithful employee worth anything to them.

Cons

Treats non-exempt employees differently than exempt employees.

Cons

Customer service has to handle a lot of tasks

Cons

Very dated facility, budgets are tight and finance department seems to be the ones managing growth and manufacturing strategies, HR is offsite and not always helpful, cafe is being shutdown at end of year, some quirky spouse insurance rules, etc. so it’s not perfect but still a great place to work
