Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
Owens Corning pays its Reps as 1099 Contractors. Yet, they require attendance at meetings, dictate dress, script the Sales presentation, Control the Appointments, and provide illegal forms to be used in the sale of the system. There are 22 things that differentiate an Employee from a 1099 Contractor. Owens Corning crosses the line 18 times. These people are clearly EMPLOYEES, not CONTRACTORS. That makes Owens Corning responsible for their Workman's Comp Insurance, and half of the EMPLOYEE'S FICA. Owens Corning manages to pay neither. Just another way they are screwing everyone they get in contact with. Thought you should know how they operate. This lack of integrity gives you an insight as to how they think.

I worked/ still kind of do but not really for owens corning in madison WI.  i was one of the guys who went to fairs and trade shows and got the sales man's foot in the door with a free estimate.  

The marketing tactics they use are quite intense, and i always kept that in mind. i got a job when they were just switching over from 1099 to a regular employee.

As a former emplyee of OCBFS I can tell thst it's their pracice to keep sales reps on a 1009 to avoid paying additional withhold. A clear violation of IRS regulations. I filed a fraud report with The IRS in Fresno,CA about this prctice. Will see what happens.

i worked for these people a year in the call center in Columbus,Ohio. for the first 5 months,they refused to put me down as a w-2'd employee. the marketing manager in Columbus Ohio Dave Azer is forcing employees at the call center to call 5 to 8 year old contest entries. these contest entries are people that have already told owens corning to take them off their calling list,and they continue harrassing these people right now. i have contacted the ohio attorney general and the FCC about these actions,and im sure this will stop soon. if you are being harrassed by owens corning,please contact the FCC and file a complaint.
