Pros

Competitive pay and benefits. Management lets you do your job without being micromanaged. Gerdau seems to be a stable company.

Cons

There is not enough room for growth. If you want to progress and grow into a better job, it is very hard because there are never opportunities

Pros

They do offer full benefits. Average insurance, 401k (%6) match.

Cons

What were once careers to grow and build are now all dead end jobs (unless you're Brazillian). The company demands %100 compliance and intimidates differing opinions. They demand %100 loyalty and dedication from their employees but will not hesitate to lay off employees at this first hint of a hit to earnings.The right hand never knows what the left hand is doing. The level of shrewd greed straight of of Brazil is astonishing. If you follow the steel market and stocks, there is a reason that Gerdau is consistently down while its competitors are up. Gross incompetence at the top levels of business strategy. Safety is preached and preached and for the safety personnel they really do try. They are quick to make sure that personnel have full access to PPE and safe job practices. All the while, management will literally let the building fall down around employees because it would cost production time and money to fix it right. Its truely a wonder that someone hasnt been killed due to poor conditions in the last few years. There are many, mindless, counter productive initiatives that hemmorage both time and money that yield meaningless results. Completely demoralized.
