Good union pay, that's about it.
Relief 1 (Former Employee), Seattle, WA –
Pros: good pay and benefits through the union
Cons: poor leadership, poor teamwork (bullies, cliques)
I'd like to say that I enjoyed the job I had for over 8 years, but I haven't. Even after I was fired and started claiming unemployment, Certainteed tried cutting my Unemployment benefits, not once, not twice, but are now trying for a third time. The 2nd time around, I took part in a hearing with myself, and two representatives of Certainteed. The Administrative – more...  Law Judge sided with ME.
Well, aside from dealing with how greedy Certainteed is, let's go onto other things. The foremen and lead supervisors get away with pretty much anything. Name calling, character assassination, having semi-nude bikini models on the desktop of their work computer, employees being assaulted, employees getting away with not abiding by safety rules because the supervisors don't enforce them. Oh, and there was the lead supervisor I had who was addicted to meth and came to work drunk for over a year. The other lead supervisor, said nothing and told me to mind my own business. Well, then again, that was the same lead who harassed and bullied me for 7 years.
I filed a complaint with the foreman, which went nowhere. I transferred to another shift, but couldn't get away from the guy.

There is very little room for advancement at Certainteed. Oh, and did I mention that the company is so cheap, that they almost refused to pay the employees' medical premiums for December 2010 until the union stepped in? – less

Certainteed offers a friendly, fair place for employment
Package Labeler/Handy Person (Former Employee), Fairfax, KS –
Certainteed manufactures and packages fiberglass insulation. They run a three shift operation with swing shifts. They recieve three breaks in an eight hour work day. They allow the production workers to join the Teamsters Union after the ninety day probationary period. They offer a good benifit package after the ninety days also. All in all this company – more...  was a good place to work. – less

CertainTeed
Quality Technician (Current Employee), Terre Haute, IN –
Pros: good pay, decent benefits, tuition reimbursement
Cons: indecisive management at times
Good pay. Uncertain times in the economy is the only reason I am looking anywhere else. Good benefits. Tuition reimbursement allowed me to get my bachelors degree. As in all companies there have been rough times in upper management and such. I like the folks and the opportunities I have had here.
