Good pay - no life outside work

Recommend
Business Outlook

Pros

Good Pay and good benefits. Most employees will make a good living and be able to support their family in a manner they will enjoy. There are opportunities for advancement in most cases, especially if you have a college education. Safety is a core value of the company, but safety programs are paperwork based not action based.

Cons

The company is based in Brazil and they believe they have the right way to do everything - they want the rest of the world to do things the Brazilian way. They try to say they are family orientated but the work / life balance will convince you otherwise.There is a lot of micromanaging and a constant turnover of employees because of it. Safety should actually be the number one value, but in reality production rules over everything, even good sense.

Gerdau In Shambles

Recommend
Business Outlook

Pros

Great hourly workers who all seem to be on the same page and help each other

Cons

Company says it can't give raises to hourly folks due to business conditions but then turns around and gives salary persons their annual STI bonus. Very unfair!! If they can afford the millions spent on salary bonus why leave out the little guy?? This one action shows who Gerdau values. So much for everyone on one team. Management only seems to value employees with 4 year degrees. The hourly employees who can make or break you. Take care of them. Benefits have become a joke. Gerdau wants the employee to absorb the cost of insurance. Corporate directions say one thing and local leaders say the opposite.
