Pros

- Laid back management - Good product with a built in advantage of being the brand name in siding. Easy to get crews, builders, and contractors to adopt it because it actually performs well and looks great. - Solid benefits - Home office work mostly - You are given a ton of leeway to create your own plan of attack for your market

Cons

- Most of the team in HQ that creates strategic plans has never actually stood on pumpjacks and install ed the product and has an immense lack of understanding of how the product is actually installed and the difficulties/challenges they face. - Training can be a bit lacking. I would definitely recommend only working for this company if you have experience either doing exterior construction (speciically siding) work or have worked in the industry previously

Pros

James Hardie offers a fantastic environment for early-career engineers. The culture is supportive, the benefits are competitive, and the team is deeply invested in collective success. I learned an immense amount through hands-on project work and felt valued from day one. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a collaborative and fulfilling workplace.

Cons

The pay is decent for the location.

good health benefits, decent pay, 6% 401k match

a lot of coworkers related to each other, favoritism all over the place. racism noticeable on the production end of the prattville plant. not safe to work if you’re a female.
