Pros

-- Good benefits overall - good heath & dental insurance, excellent retirement contribution (100% on the first 6% of your salary) -- Compensation seems good; there's always an annual bonus

Cons

-- PPG denied my retention bonus. We had a signed agreement that they kept amending by extending the date to which I had to work to receive the bonus. I worked for over a year until I had had enough and left. -- There is no maturity in the IT department (where I worked) to improve processes. They continue to do things the same way without any forethought on how to make processes more efficient or resolving the root issues (more the band-aid solutions) -- They run a lean IT shop; With all the acquisitions, it's a tough place to work. The IT managers don't really understand the technology and areas they manage.

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.
