      A Company with an almost disdain for its salaried employees. Please tell me other U.S. companies aren't this bad.

      Pros

      1. Decent work life balance 2. Fortune 500 name recognition 3. Pay can be good.

      Cons

      1. Benefits. Horrible health care benefits. One of the hidden disasters in working for this company is the health care plan is bare bones at best. And it's getting worse for 2010 as they've cut even more out. Pensions are being nixed, they're outsourcing all employer benefits support functions to India. So now if your pay is screwed up congrats you get to call India. 2. Disdain for employees. I am waiting to see where the evil genius in this company is who is actively trying to eliminate any reason for a talented employee to stay. Just to see if there are any smart people in senior positions left in this company. They keep taking away and taking away, and then any dissent gets pretty heavily crushed. 3. HR is inept. Pretty much no way to sugar coat this. 4. Incompetence at director levels and above. All the good talent has left. You see the remaining folks and shake your head.

      Pros

      Employees are helpful, open to teach and help you grow. There are many opportunities to move up in the organization if you are willing to travel to move up through operations.

      Cons

      The management is slow to respond to demanding market changes. Owens Corning has failed to develop new products and be innovative, therefore their market share is suffering. Owens Corning fails to communicate and share across the company. Many facilities are far removed from others when they could be sharing practices better.

      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.
