Big company, easy to get lost in the maze. Typical large company culture... you are a mere cog in the machine instead of a valued person. Poorly trained managers, as in NO training for them to learn how to manage people as people (vs. them being just a "head count".) They also need to pay more attention to their own work/life balance. Good loyal employees are often screwed over for no reason by clueless management. Managers are largely inflexible. Your manager may not be on site therefore they have no clue about your situation. Pay is below standard for many jobs. Older employees are targeted for layoff too frequently. Inflexible work rules. Too traditional of a work environment, example: working from home is frowned upon unless your manager is a bit of a maverick. Technologically backward processing systems that are frustrating and hard to work with. Personal technology like printers, PCs, monitors, etc. not kept up to date but only replaced if it breaks or reaches a point in the schedule for it to be replaced. Software is not updated at all unless you fight for it. Some access to the internet is blocked, sometimes for no good reason. CEO and top execs are poor examples (i.e., recent stock option cash-in when NW Mutual reacquired NW Financial and the company overall is not doing well). They are removed from the people actually doing the work and appear to have little clue to the concerns of the average worker.
