Smoke and Mirrors - Anonymous employee ONEOK Employee Review

There are too many layers of middle management. The C-Suite seems to understand to cause of the many challenges within the current ONEOK culture. The first-line employees experience the layers of bureaucracy. The middle management (repetitative layers of VPs, directors & managers) are too concerned with filters communication rather than being leaders. Communication requires two passing information up & down the chain. Market based pay is similar to government pay scale with the exception of no COL increases. This stifles the performance of top tier talent. Little reward for exceptional performance.
