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.
