      Great place to start

      Pros

      Excellent place for young people to learn with great support system for lower level positions. PPG is very fiscally conservative and they will always make money because of it.

      Cons

      Extremely political and profit now mentality. Rather than investing in plant upgrades and long term growth they prefer executive bonuses, stock buybacks, acquisitions, and benefits cuts. Communicated culture messages vary wildly and don't match actual culture. This shows when hiring experienced workers from the outside, they typically don't last long. Turnover is far more common now than it used to be but it's accepted because of the cost savings benefits.

      Pros

      PTO, flexible schedule, awesome coworkers, opportunity for growth

      Cons

      poor communication from top down, workload is continuously increased causing burn-out, cost-cutting/saving measures imposed by upper management typically do not consider how it affects regular employees

      Quintessential example of a toxic culture

      Pros

      Paints and coating are actually an absolutely fascinating products with meaningful impact on the world around us 401k match was great

      Cons

      The R&D arm of this company is horrific. I worked in a very toxic lab environment in grad school so I was thrilled to go to an industrial lab where everyone is working for the same company and in it together.....not at all the case at PPG. Idea theft and falsification of data runs rampant, it also is the rewarded so it is not the place for you if you want to do good science. HR policies and treatment of employees is decades behind most modern companies.
