PPG Doesn't Value It's Talent

Pros

Global company, several divisions, brand recognition

Cons

Pays on the lowest end of the average within its industries, job stability is not secure, company perks like cars are used in place of better salaries and they still charge you for use of the vehicles, open door policy and confidentiality are a joke.

Pros

Stable Company, 401K, Flexible Hours. HR, Benefits, Expense systems are all on-line. People rarely leave which provides consistency.

Cons

There is a very old-school mentality where breaking from the status quo is not accepted. If you want paid market rate, you need to be hired from outside, otherwise raises are rare and not much. The annual dividend is marketed as stability, but is really an excuse to reward large stockholders when it could be used to reward employees. There is too much group think and going outside the box doesn't bode well. It is impossible to get fired unless you are caught in the act of something against the rules, but even that is debatable. Performance ratings are based on a bell curve and not actual performance.
