JD Power reviews

New management has shown a lack of appreciation for existing employees. There is little to no communication from the top down and to date, our new President as of 1/2/2009 has not addressed the company in person, only through e-mail announcements of new policies and procedures. Lack of promotions and bonuses are also contributing to the low morale and negativity throughout the company. Often times, we are lied to about HR policies as to why our performance management reviews are lower than they should be. Career development is virtually non existent for anyone not associated with a "target growth" department.

Senior management never seems to "get" what's going on. Reorganizations are planned without input from employees and rolled out sans advance communication. Senior management tends to raise everyone's targets equally every year instead of placing bets on high growth areas and funding those. Professional development and pay advancement usually occurs by switching jobs internally - hard to do so without one's group, which points back to problematic HR practices. And the pay scale is less than what people could make elsewhere.
