PPG Industries Employer Reviews

Excellent company with good benefits. Enjoyed the work atmosphere.

Not much advancement and work and pay don't really match.
Management does not really staff stores the way they should.

Worked as a contractor for PPG. PPG was ok. Strange round about rules that they only tell you about when it pertains, rather than being up front. Horrible temp/hire policies.

I was a supervisor of temp workers at PPG Wichita Falls. I Supervised the temp workers in the Tempering department, Then I went to the shipping department. When I was injured, the company doctor said I needed a CT scan but the temp agency (Staff Management) fought their own company doctor's decision. Just a warning. If Staff Management is in charge – more... of temp services at PPG in you're area, DO NOT RISK IT!!!

PPG has tarnished it's own reputation by hiring a company like Staff Managment, but so be it....Poor PPG thinks it will help them in the long run... – less

PPG was a good place to gain laboratory experience. Learned how to make, spray, and test paint. Co-workers were great and I enjoyed going to work

overall job security.. overtime is available. nice place to work.

i was a temp at gca which works at PPG. I really liked this job and they pay great, IF you can get on permanent with PPG. I knew people who had been there 5 years and were still temps.

Great job that keeps you very busy and has many different tasks to learn. Management is pretty good and the co-workers are easy to get along with. Hardest part of the job is getting their, enjoy being at work, due to good working environment

The best thing about working at PPG is that you can learn a great deal from the wealth of knowledge of co-workers at this company.

PPG just bought the company I worked for. The prvius owner was Akzonobel. In my 19 years and 3 buy outs i have learned alot. PLC controls, MP2 maintenance system, Videojet systems. plus a lot more.

learned many skills
communication was at top of the list
learned & was forklift certified
co-workers treated me fairly

hardest part was Working Rotating midnight shift

Encouraging environment with great volunteer opportunities.

Inventory management, Use handheld CPU's to locate glass windshields, stock items for delivery

Not worth the time, energy nor effort due to lack of training and haphazard factory environment of 'seasonal' labor.

A typical day is a meeting in the morning then on to your day of work.

I did not get to work there very long, they filled the order and then work slacked off. I was just a temporary worker.

I did enjoy the work and the people that worked there; including the managers

The hardest part of the job was when the windshields came out of a heat treatment and the molding around the edges were suppose to be pulled off, and then – more... the windshields lifted upon trays. There is a time limit, so I was always worried/anxious about being slow . The windshields weighed about 50 to 70 pounds so it is physcially demanding-- and they were hot!

I also inspected the windshields - marked blowouts with paper clips which was a great job.

I even was put in the warehouse to put together card board boxes, and steel boxes. I like to assemble stuff so I probably enjoyed that job the most.

I learned to be fast on this job. They taught me how to pay attention to details in inspection. The people that work there like to joke around while they work and they do work hard. I miss the place, but mostly the people. – less

PPG's philosphy when it comes to contract workers is to keep them under contract and not hire them on after their contract expires (they opt to renew it under a different title to skirt the law). So far, been under contract for a year and only 1 full time position has became available (One of the other contractors who was here much longer than I got – more... the job). Pay is VERY low, think McDonalds Manager + 5 years expericence. Yes, I know this is on my contract company, but PPG is legally allowed to opt for pay raises, they just refuse to. – less

After retiring I have worked as a consultant in the fiber glass industry working with distributors that wanted expertise in developing the domestic markets with products from China.

I retired from that in September of 2012 but I want to get back working.

After spending most of my adult life with this company I find myself under-stimulated, and my skills under-utilized. Multiple attempts to relocate within the company, to departments that will offer advancement, have failed. I enjoy my co-workers, and management staff, I just find myself wishing I were being challenged on a daily basis, and able to produce – more... work that I can take pride in. – less

it was hard work but i enjoyed working there and i learned a lot about paint
