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.

Pay the same as the contractor engineering/project management you have brought in and expect PPL employees to oversee. Bring back the Jingoli President that you kicked out of the company because he hired a couple employees who were run out of the company anyways. Support your supervisors and managers so they are not scared to manage and just be yes men. Hire technical people so they can run the organization after... all the project contractors walk away and there is no knowledge for the PPL employees.

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

review the efforts and initiatives that have been started. every week a "new" initiative...never any follow up to see if last week's worked or not.

RecommendsNegative OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at PPL full-time for more than a year
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.
Advice to Management
Provide more opportunities for advancement
