Corporate is very secretive and wasteful. In the last few years, they have made decisions to downsize (which many companies have had to do) however they did not execute well and many employees were left wondering what happened to the values. Employees also learn that while they're taking hiring freezes, merit freezes, staff reductions, working double duty, etc. that corporate has been spending lavishly and continues to make secretive large dollar purchases on products that are not executed. Employees are discouraged to speak honesty when it is not what executives want to hear. They tell you there's an open door policy but when you express concerns, you are not well received and certainly learn a valuable lesson in keeping your mouth shut. Employees are now in an environment where they fear losing their jobs. When asking an employee in another department for any help that is needed from their department, it is now the norm to not receive a phone call back or email response period, even after several attempts. It's really become a sad place and it's common to hear in the hallways that "If I could find another job, I would leave immediately."
