Shipping department is terrible!

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Stable company and lots of overtime. Ability to sign out to a different department after several months. HR will work with you to help you find the right job that fits you.

Cons

Terrible supervisors that make the shipping department the worst place to work. There's a reason why they have a problem finding current employees who want to stay in shipping and have to hire new people to replace them. Very poor wages considering the amount of dangerous material that is handled everyday. The tier 2 wage system is a disaster and needs to be removed.

Pros

PPG is the type of company where you can have a long career. Safety and ethics are core values and really matter. The divisions (called business units) are like different companies and you can move to a new division, especially if you are willing to relocate.

Cons

Some of the managers and employees are resistant to change since they have worked at the same location or in the same position for so long. The field locations are not in top cities, but many industrial companies are similar.
