Pros

Not many, almost all cons

Cons

I will start by saying the CEO made $60,000,000 in compensation for 2014. While he is the highest paid US CEO, PPG didn't crack the Forbes Top 100. Seems odd. The company pays well below its competition, unless you are the CEO, of course. They hire you in and give you a completely unrealistic sales budget which only a small percent reach. This way they won't have to pay commissions and bonuses. They will change your schedule from Monday -Friday to Tuesday-Saturday without any real notice. Inevitably, someone will quit or their job will be eliminated, leaving you to cover their territory with no more money because the company won't spend the money to file the position. If you hire in with the stores, you will be handed a set of keys and an alarm code with on a few weeks training. With the expectation of working alone and handling everything by yourself. All along their idea of recognition is a star rewards system that awards stars so you can cash them in on merchandise via a website. Rather than profit sharing. You see, the folks who make 7 or 8 figure income get to keep that, while we cash in stars for "junk". If you like working long hours for less pay than the industry competitors, covering larger areas for no more pay, having your scheduled changed that interrupts your family time, being held accountable for unrealistic sales budgets that won't allow you to bonus, and being rewarded star points similar to carnival tickets, this is the place for you.

Pros

- Education benefits (but access/support depends on your manager) - Flexible workplace (work hours/wfh) - Diverse workforce.

Cons

- Does not support employee promotions. Very difficult to get promoted if you are not an engineer. - Low pay, salary increases depend on manager. For the past couple years, most employees did not even receive adjustment for inflation. - Constantly loses top talent because management is unwilling to invest to keep good employees.
