      Pros

      Great opportunities in multiple locations, strong upper management team, the people are wonderful, the leadership will try to provde wahtever you need to be successful

      Cons

      I feel the locations where opportunities exist are undesirable locations, you will work long hours, there is job ambiguity and people need better expectations and they have poor accountability.

      Pros

      Name recognition, constant training, learning opportunities. Mike Thaman is a very capable and talented individual.

      Cons

      Excessive interference from Headquarters, if someone at HQ does not like you, that's it, game over for you (and that someone at HQ can be a simple clerk!). Too much HR interference!!!! unfortunately they do not have the best and brightest people, but they wield excessive authority!!. Talented people leaves in hordes and Sr. Management does not seems to care. Most of the people that surrounds Mr. Thaman are not top talent

      Pros

      Reasonably competitive compensation package especially when the business perform. Opportunity for advancement is available if you are willing to relocate as well as at WHQ. The company's view of work-life balance is very reasonable. There are a lot of good people working in the company and the focus on continuous improvement, safety, quality is constantly being strived for.

      Cons

      Benefits seem to be declining a bit in recent years, particularly on the health care side. Department/plant staffing can be pretty lean and getting leaner with the expectation of everyone picking up the slack. Although OC is one of the most recognized brands in the market (shingles, insulation) they still are commodities and not very glamorous commodities at that.
