Pros

Decent starting pay for manual labor at a DC

Cons

Too many useless employees standing around while others work. Many employees use intimidation and accusations to get others in trouble. Middle and upper management seems afraid to confront and dismiss these people and punish others instead. Middle management clueless as to what goes on on a day to day basis. Work standards are not evenly enforced. Advancement is purely based on your ability to brown nose. Mandatory overtime is instituted way to often, when hiring a few more people or making people pull their weight would eliminate the need.

Pros

PPG offered a great office environment in the small office where I worked. There was a team feel and managers cared about people.

Cons

The company doesn't really understand how to go to business with major retailers. There was a lot of pressure from the Pittsburgh based management in directions that made no sense. This prevented the account team from really growing the account and growing solid relationships with the customer.
