Pros

Fantastic colleagues, performance driven, competitive benefits, friendly environment, challenging opportunities that bring valuable experiences.

Cons

Painfully segmented with inability to change, terrible approach to innovation, which squelches organic growth, top line sales increases driven by price increases well beyond justified, excellent sales people taking market share from competition, and acquisition of companies with similarly stagnated technology. Upper management is void of creative thinkers, who are completely disengaged, controlled by internal politics. Middle and senior managers are moved from one role to another so often, that a culture of being a “jack of all and master of none”, has become pervasive. As a result, cost cutting by the mentality that “any cog in the wheel” is replaceable, has become the operational mentality. The company is run by risk averse accountants, who will never understand innovation or dynamic decision making in a fast moving world.

Pros

Company car, excellent health care and 401k matching plan. PPG has the naming rights of the Pittsburgh Penguins hockey arena. Not many pros—

Cons

Lack of initiative to change the culture regardless of what they say. Growth only through mergers or acquisitions. No leadership to grow the business organically, they can only succeed though acquisitions of smaller better run companies.
