Pros

just ok pay with incentive bonus, medical benefits,

Cons

They treat employees like slaves. I think this comes from the culture in Brazil where they are the best company in Brazil to work for. This isn't true for America. Gerdau performs employee satisfaction surveys once a year but uses the survey results to gauge employee frustration levels with the apparent goal of keeping it at the highest possible level. Workers want to quit. Constantly changing and obscure goals.

Pros

Great summer experience, workers are great and willing to teach about steel making. Great place to learn about the real manufacturing industry and gain hands-on experience.

Cons

It's a little far from Richmond, and it is not the cleanest environment.
