- The amount of turnover within the last several months speaks for itself.
- Favoritism runs deep in this workplace.
- No professional training opportunities for "certain" employees, despite the fact that this is advertised as an employee benefit during orientation.
- If you're not liked by certain people, PPC has no money in any budget for you. Lack of training opportunities aside, if you need any basic office supplies that require more than $30, you'll have to obtain "approval". Really??
- Very low salaries compared to other companies in the area.
- The benefits package is practically useless. Better get supplemental coverage when considering working for this company.
- If you have to travel a significant distance to the client site, don't expect to be reimbursed for any cost associated with that travel. There's no money in the budget for that, but it's totally acceptable there to have the employee absorb that cost.
- You can expect a promotion only if the right people "like" you. For example, a particular manager, who was an extremely poor communicator and, at times, dishonest and arrogant, was kicked off of a project by the client, and yet he was miraculously promoted months later.
- There are no minorities in upper management, which speaks volumes about who this company values and who it does not value.
- If you're assigned to a billable project, you are treated like a human being with some level of respect.
- If you need to travel for business purposes, you're paying for it with your personal funds. You will be laughed at if you ask for a corporate card.
- Often engages in creative tactics to win work; makes promises to clients that they are not fully prepared to fulfill, thus putting massive, unnecessary pressure on its employees.
