PPL Corporation Employer Reviews

I worked for PPL for approximately 1 1/2 years. I noticed that Management was not secure in their positions and were moved frequently sometimes with no notification at all. This made it extremely difficult for new employees in new departments. With each new boss came new goals and ideas, only to come in and realize someone else in your department was – more...  plucked from their job and relocated to another department or offered a severance package. The job you bid may not be the job your in two months later. There was no stability in my department. Jobs were left as is with no updates from relocated or departed employees. Training was next to impossible due to work load and deadlines and lack of people to provide training. Tracking documentation was just as frustrating caused by frequent movement and left as is.

A normal work day was 10 to 12 hours in the office which did not include the time you worked from home on week nights or weekends. There is no flex time or overtime. They are not open to new ideas and seem to put up a wall to the new Managers who were brought in from reputable companies making their jobs more difficult. There was a bonus but your portion could be distributed to whom ever they felt like giving a larger portion to even if the group as a whole met the same goals.

Positive notes: Benefits were great. There are a few stable departments which work normal hours and the bosses have been in the department a reasonable amount of time and have experience in what they do. There is harmony and nice working conditions if you are fortunate enough to land in one of those few departments.

I was overall very disappointed. I had such high hopes for this to be the company I retired from. I worked for two other large Utilities and absolutely loved my job and would lay down my life for them. I saw so many good people move on to other companies which was a big loss for PPL. – less
