Pros

If you are young, ambitious and malleable, you will be advanced quickly. Pay and benefits are adequate but not above average. PPG is still a reputable name.

Cons

Management is poor. Managers are not equipped or supported in their roles. Decision making is short sighted. Resources are often not available. Company is systematically phasing out experienced workers. New global operating system is awful. Makes doing your job harder and slower but expectations and timelines have not changed. Overall company is out of touch with reality of day to day work and declining culture/environment.

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.
