Business outlook
Pros
Excellent place for young people to learn with great support system for lower level positions. PPG is very fiscally conservative and they will always make money because of it.
Cons
Extremely political and profit now mentality. Rather than investing in plant upgrades and long term growth they prefer executive bonuses, stock buybacks, acquisitions, and benefits cuts. Communicated culture messages vary wildly and don't match actual culture. This shows when hiring experienced workers from the outside, they typically don't last long. Turnover is far more common now than it used to be but it's accepted because of the cost savings benefits.
