      Pros

      Excellent medical benefits. Fair compensation package. Direct management supports their employees.

      Cons

      Extremely large middle management staff. Lack of movement in middle management structure with lower level employees paying price for decisions made by management. No consequence to management. Very difficult to track commission and bonus plans.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      PPG is an excellent international company with very good senior management that not only did not suffer during the recent economic downturn of the past several years, but took the opportunity to strengthen their market position through acquisitions, managing cash and working capital, and optimizing manufacturing operations. The stock increased from a low of ~$35/share a few years ago to a high of ~$238/share, and then it split.

      Cons

      While PPG, as a whole, is an excellent company to invest in and to work for, the glass division, from where it's roots in 1883 were based, has been shrinking dramatically over the past 15 years, and the future of PPG in glass is very uncertain at this time.
