Pros

The only positive thing I can say about this company is it seems to be growing in a down economy. I became a PPG employee by acquisition.

Cons

Opportunity for advancement seems to be based on anything but how well you can do the job. They way of promoting is sketchy... they move people into positions secretively avoiding the opportunity for others to apply for the job. The amount of work, and procedure necessary to complete a simple task is far fetched with this company. The internal communication is terrible, causing a complete lack of direction... especially when it comes to servicing customers. I can only speak of Architectural Ctgs division that I work in.

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.
