What don't you like about working at AllianceBernstein?

"Administrative Services/Facilities is reeking of blatant favoritism. The person who managed this department has a small coterie of favorites, who are at best are imcompetent employees, who have been rewarded with plum positions based on their relationship with her. Other staff who have lodged complaints to HR and the Ombudsman against these favorites have been subjected to retaliation. Most have left the company, relocated, fired or often laid off. Morale is very low. Career rewards are based on who she likes and not on job competency. The AllianceBernstein PMP is looked at as a big joke by majority of the employees in this department. An embarassing example of this management's practice of rewarding favorites is a Vice President who has had several positions created specifically for him. This was the result of his poor performances and have been the subject of numerous complaints for staff that have been assigned under him. Other effectively run department would have had him fired or at best demoted but instead he was promoted, cuddled and protected. Even Placement agencies have refused to place potential hires under his management. If you perceive of a quintessential ,political ,back stabbing, incompetent worker this person embodies those."
