Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at USG full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Hourly wage is good for no skill job.
Cons
No work and life balance. Working 7 days a week doesn't help with safety. Production is more important than safety and housekeeping for the company. Nepotism at its finest.
Advice to Management
Stop promoting wrong people. Care about your employees.

Pros
Good people and product offerings. Old company with good safety programs. Top notch research and development department that focuses on improving/inventing products.
Cons
Cyclical business and frequent layoffs at all levels over the past 10 years (employment is not stable), Lack of Leadership, poor communications (at all levels and between functions), low salaries, management feels entitled, over charge on products: consumers are realizing they can get equal or better quality at lower price with competitors (effects are starting to show negatively in revenue).
Advice to Management
Need to upgrade senior leadership and HR. Both are Outdated and not current with industry standards.

"Good place to work"
StarStarStarStarStarRecommendsNeutral OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at USG full-time
Pros
Work in IT with sharp, hard working individuals. Very supportive environment with management. Company has good vision with its new CEO. Good work-life balance. The corporate location is fantastic for commuters taking the train - conveniently located by OTC & Union stations.
Cons
Every job is going to have downsides, nothing really stands out with USG to warrant avoiding working here. My only concern is how tightly it is tied to the housing industry, so, you're riding the highs and lows of the industry.
Advice to Management
None - Keep up the good work.

Pros
It is a great learning environment, but unfortunately you are pigeon holed into one area for years before advancement occurs.
Cons
Very limited ceiling when it takes years to learn different processes within the company. You can learn a lot more faster if you are at a smaller company.
Advice to Management
Appreciate talent
