OC Maintenance Supervisor:   (Current Employee)

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.

Advice to Senior Management

Decrease the levels of management between the plant's and the CEO. Reduce the corporate culture at the plant level. Increase accountability across all levels and stop letting the unions bully upper management.
