Store Group Manager/District Manager for PPG Porter Paints
Store Group Manager (Current Employee), Nashville, TN –
Pros: company car, excellent benefits, company cell phone and laptop
Cons: lots of windshield time, many miles, long hours, no real holiday breaks.
A typical day at work was visiting stores, answering 100's of emails and delegating tasks to the management team. My co-worker was the Regional Sales manager and together we ran the market consisting of 68 Store employees and 21 Sales reps.

work place
warehouse (Current Employee), birstall, west yorkshire –
Pros: week off every 4 worked
Cons: very tiring to some workers
yes a great place to work but once qualified into a new role there is very limited chances to put the new talets to good use , more like a tick in the box roleplay.
hours are european and work 5 weeks in 4, you get used to it as you know what your doing for the whole year and can plan around that, but when time is needed off its very difficult to balance – more...  this work, home life. unpayed is only way around it.
still would recommend anyone to work there but this is mainly a place where to get in you know someone in there. – less

Finance MBA Internship
MBA Finance Intern (Former Employee), Pittsburgh, PA –
Pros: high performing company, diverse products, opportunity to advance
Cons: standard large company issues, slower speed to change, unconnected systems.
PPG is a solid company with a very diverse product and industry mix. The work environment is results oriented, but not in an arrogant way. The people I worked with during my internship were all extremely bright, willing to assist, and shared the sentiment that PPG cares about their employees' development.

THINK TWICE BEFORE APPLYING!!!!!!
Manager (Former Employee), Aurora –
Pros: compensation
Cons: lack of training, employee relations with management
From top to bottom an overall good organization. My negative comments relate directly to the Aurora location in which these positions are available. PPG can not get ANYONE internally to voluntarily relocate to Aurora and they groom supervisor just for these type of opportunities. The Aurora location is operated like a unionized workshop HOWEVER it is – more...  not union; the employee handbook is a localized handbook meaning each location has it's own handbook and it comes off like a union contract. The vast majority of the employees in the Aurora location are good natured, productive employees; with that being said there is a CORE group that are apposed to change and corporate and Human Resources will ultimately back the employees! The forklift operators current compensation is about 16 - 18 an hour, and there are absolutely no productivity standards and more importantly THEY DON'T WANT THEM!!! The two supervisors on 1st and 2nd shift can barely stand one another long enough to be in the same room together, so it created such a hostile work environment. One is VERY STANDOFFISH, to the point where if you walked in the shipping office to have a conversation with him for anything he would talk to you with his back turned while never acknowledging your presence. The 2nd shift supervisor is far more concerned about being "liked" than any other factor in running the business. ONE OF THE WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY MANAGEMENT CAREER!!!!! – less

Cons: managment
MANAGMENT LIVE IN THE PERFECT WORLD, THEY WANT 100% OF THE GOAL OF A UNREALIERSTIC GOAL LIKE 200K OVER THE REALITY OF THE MARKET,IF YOU MAKE 90% YOU ARE JUST A LOOSER FOR THEM. SIMPLY THEY DONT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING BUT THE VP'S OF THE COMPANY ARE BLIND AND THRUST THE LOWER MANAGMENT. SAD

Happytobegone – April 6, 2012

Wonder when the top brass are going to open their eyes and see that a certain distirct or regional manager is causing the downfall for the paint store sales in stores that were once rated at the top....it's not the employees...it's the so-called leader. You would think they'd catch on when sales continue to fall and long term employees are forced out or terminated since this clown took over.
