Pros

Have worked here over 15 years. Company that is not afraid to take risks. You can go as far as you want (yes, even EVP or 'C' level positions) from the ground floor. Hired on as entry level temp worker and have created three (!) new positions that I subsequently bid on.

Cons

Some sense of entitlement at the Seattle facility among Supervisors, but this I believe is because they were part of the previous Labor Union that was purchased by Nucor when Birmingham Steel went bankrupt. This is changing however with the influx of new workers entering the labor market.

Pros

The money is good, benefits were alright. We did have a free doctor on site for you and your family. The employees on the floor were mostly great people to work with. I had a great supervisor and great lead man.

Cons

There is more to life than working in a steel mill. Long hours away from your family takes a huge toll on you and them. Rotating shifts is hard on your body. I have been gone for 5 months and I’m writing this at 3 am because my body is still use to the weird hours.

Is Nucor right for you?

Pros

Safety Safety Safety.... is first priority and should be the focus of all employees. Compensation for production employees is above average in my city. Their 401k and profit sharing is your retirement. Future employees should be mindful of this and take full advantage of this opportunity. Health benefits are really decent . Vacation time off is based on years employed.

Cons

Production employees are expected to work rotating shifts that vary from 8 to 12 hours per shift. Melt Shop employees currently work on a very tiresome 2on 2off 3on 3off schedule. Hopefully that will change to a safer schedule like a 4 on 4 off allowing more time to adjust from working evenings and days.
