      Great benefits coming from a polluting, socially unconcious company.

      Pros

      There are top-notch benefits for full-time employees. It is a fairly straight-forward objective, to get quality paint to customers when they need it. The management is top-down, if you like that sort of thing.

      Cons

      Culture is conservative, and also VERY anti-environment. They actually have a voting page to tell you which candidates to vote for who are consistent in voting against air and water quality regulation, and they are against the Environmental Protection Agency!! Also, the company is one of the highest polluting non-energy entities in the state, even though they just make automotive paint. Working for PPG, you can expect an ambiguous set of expectations to live by, and a culture of me-against-you that ensures that if you do something "wrong", someone will tell on you for it!

      My experience at PPG was very dissatisfying and I was very unappreciative.

      Pros

      Flexibility and laid back work environment

      Cons

      Upper management is not very appreciative of staff members and how hard an employee works is never noticed. Very disorganized company and tries way too hard to be exactly like Sherwin Williams. Raises are non-existent and hours are awful. A paint store should not be opened on Sunday.
