Pros

Close to my home. Close to plenty of liquor stores. Lots of married women that love to have affairs. Slept with 3 of them. They are awesome and they pay for the hotel.

Cons

Lousy management and they know it.They think they know it all and cant properly wipe their buttocks in the bathroom. Their pay is miserable and they discriminate. Avoid this place.

Pros

PPG is a well-respected global corporation and offers a lot of opportunity for career growth and development. The company is growing and focused on expanding its position in the coatings industry. Senior management is demanding but fair in my experience. Goals are clearly defined and managers are given the tools and support to deliver on what's expected of them.

Cons

The company is working to improve its diversity, but it has a very long way to go.
