Pros

Large well known company with strong resources. Very strong at product marketing, Company prefers to hire people right out of college so can be a good option for a first job.

Cons

If you are working in a division that is doing well PPG can be a good company to work for. But if your division is not doing well your life will miserable. Most managers are long term employee's and they do everything the PPG way even when there were better options. I saw many employee's dedicated to doing whatever they felt necessary to keep their jobs and not what was best for the business. In the group I was in being over 50 greatly increased your chances of being forced out. Some companies value highly experienced employees. But in the division I was at over 50 meant you were making a higher salary and that was not good.

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.
