PPL Project Manager Reviews

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

Good benefits, good salary, great projects

Cons

Workload, constant organizational changes, high employee turnaround rate

Pros

Compensation and benefits vacation and liberal holidays

Cons

Threat driven metrics. only concerned by the number on a spread sheet.

Pros

The pay is good for the area. People are friendly and care about doing a good job. Minimal office politics which allows us to accomplish what we need to. There should be more opportunities in the future as the aging workforce at the company retires.

Cons

Not as many growth opportunities as I would like to see. People tend to stay in their positions forever which makes it hard to advance.
