      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

      Pros

      Trying to get a lot better

      Cons

      No matter how much experience you have, if you do not have a Bachelor Degree...you will not get far here. Dead end positions and not treated fairly when it comes to what you are worth.

      Opportunity for eagerness and ability to get the job done

      Pros

      I have been with gerdau for 5 years and started at the bottom. In those 5 years I have experienced a 50 percent increase in pay through 2 promotions and decent merit raises. This was also through the big global downturn in steel markets when these actions were at a premium. I feel the big pro at this company is that they recognize achievement and a eagerness to find solutions. They evaluate that value even more when you own it and roll up your sleeves to get it done.

      Cons

      There are always a lot of initiatives rolling through the company but they always have a related theme which is improve safety or control costs. If you work toward those goals you are always making it, but they have consultants come up with 15 ways to report the numbers in different ways. The real areas that need more oversight are procurement and sales as policy compliance is rarely followed and simply overlooked and those variances derail everything else.
