      Discriminatory philosophy

      Pros

      If you don't care, this is the place to be! Welcome home!

      Cons

      You must be Brazilian nationality, from brazil on some fake visa status, to get promotion in the U.S. They even dump the existing American leadership and replace with the Brazilian kids without experience, language skills, cultural background, knowing the business. It is backed by position confusing terminology such as facilitators that probably noone understands in the authorities. If it is not discrimination and hatred towards americans, then what is it? Cheaper enslaved labor? And noones seems to speak up. Shame

      Old Boys Club

      Pros

      Decent salary and good benefits, some good team players who work very hard

      Cons

      Still an old boys club in 2018. Good employees and leaders tend to leave the company, poor developement, poor recognition. Poor recruitment, nothing being done to retain or improve dynamic thinkers and leaders. Leadership just talks, no walk. Many upper management staff have never really worked ( hard) in steel plants at the front lines, or they seem to forget what it is like.

      Pros

      Good benefits, short term disability, you get to see some incredible sights

      Cons

      Unclear reporting structure, cash flow problems. as of this writing they have sold 5 of their 15 mills. Lay offs were constant the entire 5 years I was there. Alot of turnover, I had 5 bosses over 5 years. The procurement is actually done by the plants and the buyer just processes whatever they are told to. If you see a buyer that works there rest assured they have done nothing more than place spot PO's. Brazilian CEO caught up in operation zealot in Brazil.
