Poor compensation
Pay to park
Voluntary donations to United Way and other affiliations, both internal and external. Managers and directors alike would nearly force you into donating salary to affiliates/charities. I had a director come to my department and solicit our team to donate to a charity. The wording used was "even if you only contribute x, I highly recommend it". Being forced to donate to charities or be cast out when year end bonus time comes is completely wrong. Even contractors were solicited to donate.
Leadership seems to have a stagnant mentality. Promotions are given to individuals who are favored with little to no experience in the departments and teams they are promoted into.
Company moral is horrible. Everyone is overly concerned with what the business is doing. "people being laid off, possible sales, etc." Far too much distraction and concern among staff as a direct result of poor leadership and communication from the executive level.
No forward thinking or innovation. Possibly due to cost restrictions. PPL business clearly cares more about their stock value and the companies share holders than the individuals working to allow the company to continue to operate.
Decentralization/ReOrgs are a common theme. Many staff have been through 5+ managers in a very short period of time. This is a direct result of poor leadership.
