- The positive reviews seem to not mention any of the well-known issues and seem a bit suspicious, like they were written by PDI.
- PDI is not the place for those looking for an actual career if you’re starting at the ground level, regardless of your level of experience.
- Pay is only competitive in certain departments - Check out the salary scales on Glassdoor.
- Money is wasted on frivolity, and then employees are told they cannot be paid a competitive salary.
- Some employees come in at a very low pay and have to fight/threaten to quit in order to get anywhere near the typical base pay their job duties command at other companies throughout Florida.
- Management power struggles make it hard to understand what the actual goal is for a department.
- Nepotism (‘nuff said).
- Office is becoming overcrowded.
- Taking on more work than can be handled will mean more drastic layoffs when the construction lull hits again.
- Pay cuts and furloughs during the recession which employees were not compensated for retroactively when the economy improved.
- Working harder, not smarter.
- Values and mission statement look great on paper, but don't match the inner workings of the office.
- Hiring decisions sometimes based on superficial factors.
- Highest turnover rate I've seen at any private company.
- Some departments can't seem to hold employees past six months, sometimes past 24 hours!
- Drastically different reward systems between departments.
- Low morale in some departments.
- Career goals are not taken seriously.
- Favoritism that isn't well hidden.
- Recruiting practices are not exactly ethical in some cases, making the staffing department seem more like a car salespeople rather than what you’d expect from a professional contractor.
- Some employees are stuck in the same position because management refuses to let them grow, resulting in disgruntled and resentful workers.
- Hard work, dedication, education and achievements are rewarded with little wooden statues and stickers instead of promotions and/or raises.
- You either come in at the very top, or you're stuck in a low level position until you quit depending on the department you’re in.
- A typical group of employees are usually chosen to go to award ceremonies.
- Some managers take credit for the improvements employees initiated on their own.
- Morale can get so low at points that management has to be reactive instead of proactive.
- Though eye pleasing to some, the dress code is rarely enforced.
- The tasks and duties performed each day far outweigh the starting pay.
- Some people are allowed to work their two weeks, some are not.
- A couple job descriptions have not evolved to accurately relay what is expected of the employee who fills that potion.
