Pros

Great people to work with within the plants. Company puts huge efforts into safety.

Cons

Plants are Micro managed by corporate. No advancement, and huge corporate overhead is heavy to carry. Not a fun place to work. Always bad news for employees actually doing the work. Constantly cutting bonus each year and most people make less money each year they work there.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good company. The problem is that profit is becoming tighter and tighter. Therefore compensation that used to be good is going down.

Cons

Compensation and benefits are getting worse every year. Merit increase is something very weak in Gerdau Jacksonville. No mater what you do, recognition is not strong.
