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.

Pros

Acceptable 401K matching with immediate vesting as well as an age based deferred compensation program that has a 3 year vesting period. Standard benefits and pay consistent with industry. Acceptable safety practices defined and adhered to throughout organization.

Cons

Moderately high turnover (at least my division). Inconsistent treatment of employees (flex time allowed for some employees but not others in same work category, some employees told to use personal car or phone for work activities while others get in trouble for same type of work activity, allowing some employees the options to apply and move internally while others are not allowed - and are sometimes even forced to moved to a role for which they didn't apply against their desires). Inconsistent reporting of data and legal brushes aside your questions/findings making you seem like you did something wrong when uncovering something fishy.
