Pros

Decent benefits. Good pay. Stable employment

Cons

Many managers have been here forever-some its their first job and they will retire here. They can't wrap their head around any other ideas, thoughts or way of doing things. Very outdated IT infastructure. There's no org chart, and if you have a problem outside your department, you likely won't know who to call for help. Office politics are very high. Senior managers are often mean to employees because the company does not reprimand or fire people outright, so they get away with it. The business revolves around accounting and month-end. If you are not an accountant, you will be expected to be one. Since the company doesn't fire anyone, there's a lot of dead weight lingering in offices. Because department managers refuse to communicate, there's a lot of duplicate work. Louisville is the red headed step child of ppg. Corporate does not like this business unit.

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.
