      Pros

      The pay is decent and the benefits are pretty good

      Cons

      Poor management, do not honor core values, put customer service at the bottom of their priority list, break down of job responsibilities that turn you into a one task machine, too many decisions made for personal feelings or gain even if they are not in the best interest of the company

      Ok

      Pros

      Management treats people ok. There is a strong comiment to Safety. They are working to provide better operator training. They work hard to celebrate and recognize new programs, changes and improvements by providing shirts, meals, etc.

      Cons

      Big promotions are reserved for young Brazilians who show up out of nowhere and Americans are left in holding patterns. The hiring process for these jobs is really a front at the local level because it is already determined in Tampa or Brazil. The people on the floor are angry about the changes in the Partners in Performance pay system that was down graded through raising the requirements and not being aligned with the generous systems at other Gerdau plants.

      Gerdau Ameristeel was a good steel company to work for

      Pros

      Senior management had a long-term approach to the companies strategic direction making them slow to take rash actions in the event of an economic downturn.

      Cons

      The corporate office attempted to micro-manage the operations but generally lacked the industrial experience to do this from afar. Also they did not realize the load they were putting on operations on-top of their everyday task of making steel.
