Pros

There are top-notch benefits for full-time employees. It is a fairly straight-forward objective, to get quality paint to customers when they need it. The management is top-down, if you like that sort of thing.

Cons

Culture is conservative, and also VERY anti-environment. They actually have a voting page to tell you which candidates to vote for who are consistent in voting against air and water quality regulation, and they are against the Environmental Protection Agency!! Also, the company is one of the highest polluting non-energy entities in the state, even though they just make automotive paint. Working for PPG, you can expect an ambiguous set of expectations to live by, and a culture of me-against-you that ensures that if you do something "wrong", someone will tell on you for it!

Pros

Acceptable 401K matching with immediate vesting as well as an age based deferred compensation program that has a 3 year vesting period. Standard benefits and pay consistent with industry. Acceptable safety practices defined and adhered to throughout organization.

Cons

Moderately high turnover (at least my division). Inconsistent treatment of employees (flex time allowed for some employees but not others in same work category, some employees told to use personal car or phone for work activities while others get in trouble for same type of work activity, allowing some employees the options to apply and move internally while others are not allowed - and are sometimes even forced to moved to a role for which they didn't apply against their desires). Inconsistent reporting of data and legal brushes aside your questions/findings making you seem like you did something wrong when uncovering something fishy.
