Pros

The only positive thing I can say about this company is it seems to be growing in a down economy. I became a PPG employee by acquisition.

Cons

Opportunity for advancement seems to be based on anything but how well you can do the job. They way of promoting is sketchy... they move people into positions secretively avoiding the opportunity for others to apply for the job. The amount of work, and procedure necessary to complete a simple task is far fetched with this company. The internal communication is terrible, causing a complete lack of direction... especially when it comes to servicing customers. I can only speak of Architectural Ctgs division that I work in.
