Pros
Corporate pedigree is something that may get you noticed depending on who is looking in HR, software vs. a beating heart...
Cons
Huge decline in quality of health benefits. Almost zero possibility of a cost of living salary increase. Almost zero possibility of a commission, incentive, or spot bonus in a sales role.! Performance aside, management (Gypsum) does not adhere to the MBM guiding principles of Koch except when dealing with legal or administrative issues..certainly not on compensation, and is vastly out of touch and communication with the front lines. Division has a "Masters of the Universe" management mentality that looks down their nose at anyone at the middle or bottom rungs as having little or no impact on the business or its success, and dispensible at any moment, unless maybe you have your MBA. This mentality is palpable, and operates on a climate of fear, mistrust and causes very low morale.
