RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at PPL full-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
A company that always looked to do the right thing and adapted and changed to ensure it was a leader in the industry. High ethics and high compliance standards. Great growth opportunity due to impending retirements.
Cons
The leadership abilities of managers could vary from department to department. Some days the bureaucracy of a large Fortune 500 could take over and stall things from happening.
Advice to Management
Over communicate to employees in a timely manner as the company continues to change.

Experience for your next position elsewhere.
Steady pay check.
Experience constantly adapting to a change.Cons
5 different bosses in less than 2 years
Poor pay relative to position requirements
Poor HR. Job titles squashed to reduce compensation.... Managers really are directors, supervisors are really managers.
Company has no long term, direction and vacillates between strategies.
People running groups or organizations have no experience with those groups and organizationsAdvice to Management
Replace your HR group
Value your employees
Either provide services for your customers or cut costs. The two are mutually exclusive. Don't expect to.provide good customer service if you aren't paying appropriately to provide it.
Put suitable employees in roles they are experienced at and don't just "find a spot" for them.PPL 2017-06-13 08:46 PDTHelpful (1)

Pros
Good work experience to build resume for next employer.
Cons
Unfortunately the company no longer cares about employee morale or work hours. Hours are ridiculously long and job expectations are unrealistic. Upper management keeps cutting employees while increasing workload, and rewarding themselves with ever-increasing exec pay packages. Current management is so out of touch and has ruined the company
Advice to Management
Fire yourselves and get people in who know what they are doing.
