-Too much management
This company is too big for its own good. The number of managers in any given chain creates bottleneck after bottleneck, which middle management uses as an excuse anytime you have an idea for improvement.
The middle management is promoted based on tenure and completing internal training and therefore you have a number of unqualified, immature and clueless individuals at this level. If you are fortunate enough to get a good manager, you'll still find they have their hands tied more often than not.
-Poor HR/Finance
I completed a relocation on behalf of this company, and had to wait several months for their incompetent finance team to update my address, as their internal application didn't list the city I moved to and they wouldn't update it. Considering this involved a change in state as far as taxes were concerned, the lack of responsiveness from their end was embarrassing.
HR itself is based out of their offices in India. You have a minimum 24 hour wait on any issue, no matter how urgent.
-Laughable pay increases
If you believe you will be rewarded for your hard work, only disappointment awaits you. I found being rated as a top performer one year, while not having a top performer rating the next year, yielded absolutely no difference in the poor salary increase I received.
-Training/Guidance/Development is nothing more than a line item to them
All professional development is managed through an internal app. Half the time, the manager is so swamped they simply fill out a good review just to get it completed. You will only get actual feedback if you made a mistake or had a disciplinary issue.
You can get training here, but you are reliant on materials developed in-house (and useless, in my experience) or available for free elsewhere.
