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

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.

Pros

In the beginnin everyone with a idea was allowed to voice it and it was reviewed and a decision was made on its merit.

Cons

Instead of promoting from within as promised they would hire friends of friends from outside even if they had no experience in the industry.We were told "they can learn the job".Whole sections of the employee never got promoted even if they were qualified.We got to train our supervisors.
