"I worked at the United States gypsum and it is a wonderful job was a great experience built a lot of knowledge and skills through this company definitely helps you grow !!"

"The company overall has great values. It just fails to put those values into practice at the plant level."

"I've worked for National Gypsum Company for 5 years. They are a good company with 17 manufacturing plants and 31 total business locations throughout the US. They have a strong obligation towards their workers and everyone in the plant and in corporate is considerate and helpful. All in all they are actually a great company to work for and they have opportunities to move up in position and pay without any prior schooling or experience because they help cross-train each person and promote from within if you have the skills and knowledge from your daily work."

"Strong company with family values and a diverse workforce. I have worked at several locations over my time and have found excellent employees to go along with an excellent workforce at each."

"Culture is stiff. IT PMO worry more about when you are at the office rather than the work you get done. Can be subjected to menial tasks that are far below what you are contracted for. The rates tend to be low."

"USG is a great place to start off. They are very good with allowing you to get the necessary training you feel you need. Unfortunately I was thrown on a project quickly and didn't have much time for training.I feel like its tough to 'live' in the WMA on a USG salary. I think its time for me to branch out and search elsewhere, possibly outside of the WMA."

What don't you like about working at United States Gypsum?

"They care more about profits than employees. Recently eliminated all accounting jobs at plants. Sent many american jobs to unqualified company in India at the expense of quality performance. No loyalty to high performing long term employees. Poor, slow, communication of extremely important information affecting employee's lives. Corporate culture has turned to one of fear and suspicion. Pefect example of greedy, uncaring American capitalism at it's best. Working hard and doing your best are not rewarded. Pay is mediocre at best. Decisions are handed down from corporate, who has no idea what is happenning at the plants and how hard many people are working. Corporate spends money like water and plant offices are in ruins and on strict budgets."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"You sold out to greed and sold out your loyal employees. Maybe cut outrageous corporate spending before sending critical jobs to underqualified low paid people in other counties who are making massive errors completely screwing up the accounting system and angering vendors. You shot yourself in the foot and ruined many lives. Good job! Good luck sleeping at night."
