Pros

Solid financial performance - innovative culture and global footprint allowing for advancement with the right degree and experience

Cons

Productivity focused on ALL positions - even those that do not contribute with a "sell-able" service. People are a commodity and many departments survive only by "Checking" the boxes.

Pros

PPG is an excellent international company with very good senior management that not only did not suffer during the recent economic downturn of the past several years, but took the opportunity to strengthen their market position through acquisitions, managing cash and working capital, and optimizing manufacturing operations. The stock increased from a low of ~$35/share a few years ago to a high of ~$238/share, and then it split.

Cons

While PPG, as a whole, is an excellent company to invest in and to work for, the glass division, from where it's roots in 1883 were based, has been shrinking dramatically over the past 15 years, and the future of PPG in glass is very uncertain at this time.
