Great place to start a career or the whole thing! Beware if you are finically driven this is not the gig for you, safe. - BDM PPG Employee Review

Pros

Great established company steeped in tradition and generations of success. Lots of room for growth.

Cons

Not a great place for 6 digit sales jobs. All roads eventually lead to Pittsburgh, or worse yet in AC, Louisville. AC is the red headed stepchild of PPG and is not treated the same as if you were in a different SBU, mostly due to larger number of reps. Don't even consider working for the Lowes division unless you have little ambition and enjoy working in a bib box.

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.
