Pros

Gerdau is a large company with a long history in the steel industry. They offer good pay and benefits. The company thinks long term, so they are in a good position to survive market changes.

Cons

Jacksonville Mill is making BIG adjustments as it learns to get in-line with corporate business philosophy. This is causing so many changes that management has difficulty planning. Employees are often confused and frustrated due to this lack of planning.

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