Pros

I can honestly say there are no pros to working for PPG. Read my cons to hear why I left.

Cons

They cut the workforce by half and wanted us to still carry on as if we were fully staffed. No more overtime,lieu time instead.Unrealistic targets. Majority of staff on anti depressants. Not allowed to attend funerals unless they are family. Way too many upper management positions that are filled with brown noses. The list goes on and on. In a nutshell, when owned by SIGMA KALON you were treated with respect. PPG treat all sales assistants like something you scrape off the sole of your shoe.

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.
