Pros

My current pay and benefits

Cons

Been at my current location for 19 years. Started off as Glidden, then ICI, Akzo Nobel and now PPG. And they are by far the worst I have ever seen. It is too much to get into but they have changed and taken away so much. This site used to be one of the best places to work, people were knocking on the doors to get in. Now they can't give the jobs away. The pay has changed (gone down) for new employees and even changed for current. Now they are going to mandate the shot or THE EMPLOYEE pays $25/ week for a test. (only nonshot employees have to test weekly) And because of THEIR decision (not government) they are losing great employees that have been with the company for many many years. I'm watching a place I thought I would retire at, now questioning whether they will be around long enough to retire from.

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.
