Pros

Great company culture. Opportunity to make a lot of money. Company cares deeply about employees and prioritizes employee well-being over everything else.

Cons

Very political company, so if you don’t believe what they believe, you will be an outsider. Company is inwardly-focused. Essentially, they only care about what’s going on within the organization. The fact that they employ 25,000+ people and still don’t respond to Glassdoor comments is evidence that the highest level of the organization doesn’t care much about what people outside the company think. No corporate responsibility around diversity or inclusion, so the workforce is very homogenous. They have skewed statistics to keep the company legally compliant, but majority of the organization is rooted in the Deep South and perpetuate the racist and segregated undertones of those communities.

Pros

When the steel market is good the pay is more than what most jobs out in their areas will pay. There is freedom to come up with ideas to improve the process and implement them at your design. Safety is held to the highest standards. 4 days on, 4 days off schedule is good when not having to work extra. Profit sharing pays well into 401k for a good business year.

Cons

The pay is not consistent at all, based on production bonus. When told to come in, not specifically covering a shift, you get only a third of the pay because you won't be getting paid production bonus. Nucor is growing a lot as a company, and it is turning away from placing value on its employees and turning to doing what it can to please share holders and raise the bottom dollar. Electricians are stretched extremely thin, there is no one "on the bench", so when one quits someone else has to shift into a different area or the rotation changes to 5 days on 3 days off 12 hour shifts if you're lucky. I came on having to do 6 on 2 off. Most people live far away so a 12 hour day takes up the whole day.
