Management - Most low level managers have no idea how to manage people. Some will just delegate most of their work and take credit for their employees ideas. Middle management does not associate with low level employees. They claim to care, but nothing has been done to improve the culture. Your manager generally will not go out of their way to help you move up in the company. Managers in general just show a lack of respect for people that report to them.
Training - there is no formal training for new or current employees. Everyone is too busy after the layoffs to devote their time to training new or current employees
Internal advancement - it is incredibly difficult to get promoted in this company, finance especially. The best way to get promoted is to know someone important and brown nose. That's just the way it is here. If by some chance you do get promoted, the compensation they offer you will not exceed a 10% increase in what you already make.
The system is overly complicated - any accountant or finance analyst that currently works here will tell you that the way the system is set up is incredibly inefficient. Between SAP and PowerPlant, it is incredibly difficult to perform even the simplest tasks.
Peer employees - most of the people that work here are great, but there are those that have been with the company for years that have such a negative view about the company that are impossible to work with. They complain more than they work, and complain that they never get promoted.
Human resources - I'm really not trying to be mean, but HR is completely incompetent.
Overall - if you just want to come to work, do your job, and go home, not more or no less, this is a great place to work. If you want to advance your career this is not the place you want to be.
