Pros

I received fair pay and had no problems receiving reimbursements during travel. I felt that their benefits were decent with the exception of holidays and vacation.

Cons

Unfortunately Gerdau lost me as an employee because I was tired of dealing with rude management who couldn't grasp good direction giving techniques.

Business Outlook

Pros

- Obsessive search of profits obviously PREJUDICE the employees...

Cons

That is a very confuse company... Each boss has its own sets of rules to be followed by the employees. What can be beneficial to some colleagues from other areas can be completely different for another employees. There is not a general set of rules, each boss acts according to his/her wishes, what is very disappointing. Company tends to not attend the brazilian work law because the profitis is the ultimate objective. People does not matter. Only the profits matters.
