Pros

Not many, almost all cons

Cons

I will start by saying the CEO made $60,000,000 in compensation for 2014. While he is the highest paid US CEO, PPG didn't crack the Forbes Top 100. Seems odd. The company pays well below its competition, unless you are the CEO, of course. They hire you in and give you a completely unrealistic sales budget which only a small percent reach. This way they won't have to pay commissions and bonuses. They will change your schedule from Monday -Friday to Tuesday-Saturday without any real notice. Inevitably, someone will quit or their job will be eliminated, leaving you to cover their territory with no more money because the company won't spend the money to file the position. If you hire in with the stores, you will be handed a set of keys and an alarm code with on a few weeks training. With the expectation of working alone and handling everything by yourself. All along their idea of recognition is a star rewards system that awards stars so you can cash them in on merchandise via a website. Rather than profit sharing. You see, the folks who make 7 or 8 figure income get to keep that, while we cash in stars for "junk". If you like working long hours for less pay than the industry competitors, covering larger areas for no more pay, having your scheduled changed that interrupts your family time, being held accountable for unrealistic sales budgets that won't allow you to bonus, and being rewarded star points similar to carnival tickets, this is the place for you.

Pros

Not much to says that is good.

Cons

The company is not committed to making sure their employees are treated fairly. They have a globe code of ethics but if you make a report the team handling the ethics will notify management and they'll reliate and start writing you up for anything just to get rid of you. They tell you that they're surveys are anonymous but they aren't anonymous. The EEOC needs to investigate the company it's terrible.
