      Great pay and career potential.....heavy union influence.

      Pros

      Owens Corning is a large company, with many divisions, and if you are willing to relocate, you will be able to hold most any position you are qualified for - assuming you are performing in your current position. I believe they fairly compensate their employees and also provide a decent yearly bonus - again, assuming you are a performer. They are one of the few companies that still offers both a 401K and a pension.

      Cons

      If you dislike unions, Owens Corning may not be the company for you. The majority of their manufacturing facilities are union, and at times, it appears that upper management too often caters to the "wants" of the union employees. This can make "driving change" difficult.

      OC is a good place to work & get experience, but the company lacks a clear vision for succeeding in the future.

      Pros

      OC is a global company with many different businesses that provide opportunity for advancement. I like the people that I work with and the underlying financials of the company are sound.

      Cons

      The overall benefits package outside of the 401K match is abysmal. Corporate support functions can be reorganized to better serve the business and reduce redundancy.

      Pros

      The way most of the job areas divided you're almost forced to work in a teaming environment vs. the individual float or sink mentality. There’s plenty of projects going on to get some experience or specialty in a certain area for a couple of years. Though the culture seems to be in a middle of a change, it’s still a relationship driven company which benefits if you can get into it quickly. Overall headquarter facility has a good physical work environment.

      Cons

      Choose wisely before accepting an offer from this company. The pay is below market value, and health care benefits can be a near joke. The generation gap within the company spawns a lot of resistance to trying anything new with classic “it’s been done for x years” speeches. Be cautious of pigeonholing or taking on projects too far from the mainstream. You will quickly get stuck or have a long uphill trek to justify. Toledo, a rust belt city, where the main office is can be a hard place to live in especially if you’re not from the area or Mid-West. Look at the big picture. You can do worse, but you can do better too.
