Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at CertainTeed full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Great benefits, excellent retirement packages, and nice headquarters.
Cons
Corporate politics runs rampant. The different units are not aligned in activity or P&L. Middle management is more concerned with keeping their jobs and getting to retirement than taking risks to advance their units. Too much finger pointing. Behind in employee efficiency technology (project management tools, CRM, etc). Focuses more on keeping up with competition as opposed to innovation. Too big to move quickly with business decisions and every decision needs multiple sign-offs at multiple levels.
Advice to Management
It is 2017. Focus on innovation, agility, and emulate tech companies or companies that have embraced the start-up mindset. Focus on employee happiness. Gut the management that is bringing you down.

RecommendsPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at CertainTeed full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Good exposure to jobs across company. Good training options and more effort on diversity hiring. I like my boss he tells me what's important for my career.
Cons
Corporate Office is really nice with fitness and good cafeteria but it is in the middle of nowhere. Continuing education for college is tough to get.
Advice to Management
Think about those people that want to work in a city.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at CertainTeed (More than 8 years)
Pros
Benefits, health care package. Other employees not management are friendly and helpful. State of the art IT processes.
Cons
The attitude that people are expendable, regardless of time spent on the job. The bullies get the promotions. Not conducive to long-term employment.
Advice to Management
Value your people, The employees do the work so that you can get your big bonuses, they should see some of that in their paychecks too.

Pros
Nice brand new headquarter...but in the middle of nowhere.
Cons
No performance oriented, you can deliver absolutely nothing if you are politically correct, from a minority and play softball you can do what most people do there "fake it"
Advice to Management
Go to the senior community, play golf and let the generation work

RecommendsPositive OutlookDisapproves of CEOPros
Corporate HQ employees are given the ability to work from home, on-site gym with trainers and fitness classes, competitive wages/salaries, brand-new corporate HQ, a Starbucks coffee shop is located on-site, health benefits are average or even above average for a single person, promotes skill growth for all positions, company values are taken seriously and earnestly upheld, company is overall very successful and continues to progress
Cons
Career advancement opportunities are limited and upper mobility is compromised as a result. Behind the times with technology (in fact, their strategies on technology are almost backward and illogical).
Advice to Management
Executive management at corporate HQ epitomizes and perpetuates the "ivory tower" stigma. The executive management group is out of touch with their employees, and surprisingly very disengaged from employees of all ranks. Advice to management: PLEASE review how other higher ranking executives from other large (and small) companies stay engaged with their employees. This would foster a deeper sense of belonging amongst all pillars of the company. As employees see it right now, inspirational leadership is sorely lacking at CertainTeed.
