Pros

Management are taking the company to the ground. They don't listen to their employees on how to improve productions. Acting they know everything but clearly they don't. There are a lot of good workers there being with a company for years; and haven't received a decent raised. Majority of the managers do a lot of discrimination and do favoritism based on your skin color or background. They will terminated a minority in a heart beat, but will protect a white employee when they make a mistake. This company needs to be under investigation on how they treat their employers.

Cons

No support by the facilitator and HR Lot of favoritism to white employees Expect you to come to work on your days off or be threat to be terminated No raises Lots of unnecessary meetings Stay away

Gerdau In Shambles

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.

Pros

Tons of shop floor knowledge. The people I worked with had several years of experience. The pay was fair, but constantly changing. The People care for each other and watch out for each other.

Cons

Management answers to the share holder, passed the majority of rising health care costs on to employees, while still turning a profit. Reduced the overall benefits/bonuses to employees while still turning a profit. Direct Management was in the dark and had to jump through hoops for Corporate. The corporate structure is entirely to large. Extremely dangerous environment. 2 people died from industrial accidents during my tenure. Limited Opportunities to move up.
