I must say I didn't know this page existed. Indeed PPC is a good company to work for in terms of benefits etc. but that's where it ends! The people are horrible, favouritism is rife, back stabbing is continuous and only if you are in the right "clique" will you get anywhere. The best thing I ever did was leave. The OP department was good, but then they got rid of certain people and then it just went downhill. Management doesn't care about anything except the huge incentive bonuses they can get.

"Employment at PPC"
Added 11 Nov 2014 by a current employee
PPC has great benefits. The corporate culture is toxic: certain Managers get away with ill-treating their subordinates and abusing basic human rights. HR is useless in terms of dealing with employee concerns and issues. HR doesn't keep employee appraisals, which makes you wonder how bonuses are allocated. If you're not in the 'right' clique in PPC you are doomed. If you are willing to go against your values, lie, back stab and cheat so you can provide for your family then this is the company for you. Management doesn't uphold the code of conduct of PPC.

PPC Cement, on paper is the best company to work for in terms of salary, benefits and training. However, with regards to people skills, it still have a long way to go. There's little room for movement (career advancement) because most Line Managers and Senior Managers stay in the same positions, which means: as their subordinates, either you stay on the same position for years or move to another company.

PPC Cement is a great company to work for and for career development considering the amount of time spent in training. The challenge is with some Line and Senior Managers standing in surbodinates prospects for growth where they make decision on who must take which position. If you don't do things which pleases certain individuals you can forget about your chance of being promoted regardless of your capabilities or skills. The problem within PPC is people.

A Very Good company to work for in terms of Benefits. The company have one of the best working cultures that you could find. The people are the most important resource of the company but not all of the people's needs are addressed. The company is very visionary & wants to develop its people. Not all in Management have that same view of uplifting & developing the people.

A nice intermediate stepping stone. No long-term prospects.
Best companies to work for in the Building materials sector.
