Pros

PPG is very numbers driven - and as such the bonus program is competitive (note I said bonus, not salary...). The people in leadership positions know very well what they employees want to hear and communicate frequently.

Cons

As I said above, PPG is very numbers driven - to a fault. Anything that we tried to do that was creative to reach out to consumers was consistently put down as frivolous - all they want to do is whatever their customers (i.e., the retailers) want. This may work for them in the near term, but in the long term, no one will even know who they are and their brands will disappear.

Pros

Manager wants you to succeed. Leaning all of the basics of the job early on. The program sets you up with a professional network with a mentor as well as other FLD's. There is flex time and schedules are flexible to a point. I feel like family is valued and so is your overall health. There are many growth opportunities but it is your job to look for them and take advantage of them The benefits package covers a good amount for health, dental, vision and car. Higher Education is encouraged and PPG will help you pay for it. The upper management likes to know what is going on to the plant level. This always tells you their level of interest in making their company succeed.

Cons

Some jobs can be monotomous. The culture is one sided. Meaning there aren't many young professionals It took a little longer than I would have wanted to build a training schedule Compensation could be higher. Mobility is the key to move forward, Could be a pro or con depending on how you feel about this
