      I have been working at USG full-time for more than a year

      Pros

      People want to stay at USG, always a good sign.

      Cons

      Dealings at the top of the company are opaque. Corporate communications are boilerplate business-speak.

      Former Employee - Marketing Intern in Chicago, IL

      I worked at USG full-time for less than a year

      Pros

      If you are a person that enjoy doing nothing and getting paid this is for you. There is a cafeteria with food so you dont have to leave for lunch. The managers are great and its a good place to get your feet wet in the corporate world.

      Cons

      Lots of grunt work. Some days you will just sit around and basically stare at your computer screen with nothing to do.

      Current Employee - Production Operator 
      Doesn't Recommend
      Negative Outlook
      No opinion of CEO

      I have been working at USG full-time for more than 10 years

      Pros

      It used to be a great place to work. Pay is still good.

      Cons

      Did anybody notice 85% of reviews with 5 star ratings are listed as "current employee"? That is obviously an attempt to manipulate ratings. Virtually all other "Great Reviews" are from people listed as management... As an operator I can say this place is thriving for poor management. No work/life balance. Will only change as a reaction to issues rather than proactively making things better. By the time they react,...

      Advice to Management

      Production is what brings in the money to sustain you... Stop putting production staff at the bottom of the priority list.
