Pros

Good quality products, but over priced.

Cons

A management culture that is best defined as "spineless" - you bring them solutions to problems you are experiencing in the field, and it goes NOWHERE. You'll find that the people who work at corporate have this air of superiority and ARROGANCE which summarizes and adds to the overall dysfunction of this company. The ones who survive with this group are soulless individuals who's main personality trait is only looking out for number one... so watch your back. If you decide to sell for this outfit, I can promise you that you'll think back to this post after 6 months.

Pros

Working within the manufacturing facilities, you were allowed to voice your opinion and drive change. In addition, you were allowed to take on as much responsibility as you determined. The organization was focused on waste elimination based on continuous manufacturing of a product well into it's product cycle.

Cons

To advance within Owens Corning requires relocation. After a while, moving becomes a problem if your spouse is employed or children are in school. Senior level Management is hired from outside the organization and many do not have a foundation of the products, processes, or personnel. Without this foundations, several bad decisions are made.
