Pros

Decent pay..paid weekly..meet some cool people

Cons

Where do i begin..Usg east chicago plant is the worst..in board and jt deparments they hire all LAZY PEOPLE and they do nothing at work for 12 hours.but they try to use the hell out of people who do try to come to work n work. they equipment is old n breaks down all day. Everyday they have the same problems or new ones.makes a 12hour day so hard..they dont care at all..mangement sucks..Hr doesnt care.the formen sit in the office all day on facebook n craiglist. instead of getting the lazy ppl to work.the current supervisor is scary..Sacred of his employees the ppl who dont be working or doing anything all day he dont say anything to them but constatly tells the good workers to do everything..the department manager doesnt care either he runs several departments so he doesnt have time..no life to work balance.then you are told you have to work on a day you was off at the last minute..they pay should be higher to work here considering the equipment is out of date and breaks down all day long..everyone is scared to speak up if you do your a target..i would not try to get anyone to work here. WORST PLACE TO WORK..they treat ppl terrible.they dont train u properly they use to now training is relieving someone for break .something goes wrong that person doesnt even know what too do. they have their favorites..all the ppl who are lazy. i see why ppl who been here 10yrs or more come in and say they quit..this company needs to be fair n hire better ppl also if you are late all the time you wont get fired until you have been late about 30 times they dont stick to the policy. They dont listen to you and they dont care about you bottom line.

Pros

Easy work, If you like just going through the motions this place has you covered

Cons

My perspective is coming from a desk role and not someone out on the floor. With that said, I did not enjoy my time working for this corporation. They farm out the majority of their work. Which in turn has caused quite a few clueless people to end up in manager roles. It doesn't help that there are some older people working in this department who don't want to change with the times. Which means you constantly have to update 2D drawings to add viewpoints simply due to someone not wanting to learn or use 3D software. If you have a few years of experience under your belt I would avoid this place simply due to the lack of growth you will experience. You end up feeling like a glorified secretary because it all feels like meaningless paperwork and emails. Even for the project engineers which mostly just bring in outside contractors to repair and mainting the facility. They really push safety but in my view it's to their own hindrance. They focus so strongly on it that at a certain point it just becomes mumble jumble. They make it a certain safety issue a main highlight. Then come up with some terrible new piece of equipment to implement that will end up not being used the majority of time. If you want to actually learn about manufacturing and grow your skill set. Avoid this place. But if you want an easy job without any challenges you would love it there.
