Pros
If you can get into the Accelerated Training Program, it will be worth your time. You will move to a variety of divisions in the company, with success and an in house mentor throughout your career. PPG promotes from within whenever possible and their stock program (when active) is excellent.
Cons
If you are not in the ATP program, it is a little more difficult to get promoted. Hard work is one thing, but being in the program(the future of the company) is yet another. Once you get to a certain level there are many "who you know" types of personalities. This may be commonplace in very large organizations.
