Pros

Large company but intra-organization communication is excellent. You don't get that 'siloed' feel. If you need to reach someone in another division or location, you usually hear back promptly. Goals were clearly established and you're given a lot of flexibility in how to develop your market.

Cons

Some of the operating systems are complex. However, there are locations across several countries so the system has to be broad enough to accommodate.

Pros

At one time this was the Chaparral Steel mill, the largest and most profitable mini steel mill in the world.

Cons

Gerdau is a Brazilian owned company. They have their vision, which over the past 3 years has been to replace as much management as possible with people from Brazil. The mill now operates at 40-60% of capacity. Compensation was great at one time but over the past 7 years has gone downhill. Every Year, at least twice a year, there was a purge of 5-10 people in IT. This year in July of 2017, it was massive.
