Pros

The safety culture is one that not everyone can live up to. Safety come first in Nucor and management stands behind this.

Cons

Safety is so strict that sometimes it is a challenge to work with such high standards and complete the task assigned to you.

Pros

Casual work environment, and office people (although taken advantaged of) are good people but stuck at Nucor because of small town location or not real experience to get a real job outside of Nucor.

Cons

New prospective employees, the benefits here are really bad (medical you pay per person each "week" and they will cover only 60% not the standard 80% most other companies do), 401k match is 5-25% of 7% which = a fraction of 1%. They will play up the ROA bonus and the Profit Sharing but these added together historically barely make it to 25% on average. Most organizations offer close to this as a bonus so this is not much different. Raises are very low usually 2-3% which often times is below inflation. Across the board their benefits are below industry average. The management will blackball you if you say anything negative (even if it is the truth and can help the business) and you cannot be from the outside if you want a job as a manager or above. You need to be a Nucor employee from the start of your career and preferably on the shop floor. If you are not you will never move up in this organization because of the politics and their ridiculous culture they promote that no manager or above follows. Worked for 20+ years and Nucor is hands down the worst place I have ever been by a long shot. They are not an honest organization. They will never last if they continue down this path. These are the facts.
