Pros

No one to challenge your technical knowledge, or lack thereof. Lots of career opportunities cause people are scared to move up in the organization.

Cons

Management has run off knowledgeable employees, looking for yes men and women. No one wants to apply for a leadership job cause there is constant micro management over constructive culture surveys, which one bad direct report can get you dismissed from your role. Salaries have not increased per the market trends. I could make 20-40k more money working for one of the project management contractors that work for PPL and honestly do all the work for the company, but management has a policy that you can not work on property for one year after you separate from PPL. They hold individuals hostage with low pay and poor company culture. Also the IT system is the worse ever, there were more features and better access when I joined the company.

Pros

PPL pays well and has facilities all across eastern PA. It is easy to deflect responsibility to others if you want to avoid responsibility.

Cons

Poor culture, poor accountability on the correct people, throws away money on useless consultants.
