    Nucor as a company is amazing BUT....

    Pros

    Amazing bonus program if you know how to work as a team. They don't .. A lot of overtime if you want it If you're at almost any other plant other than vegas you probably just established a career. Do not work at the vegas plant and just to clarify this is 2 years after nucor purchased metl span.

    Cons

    They hire their friends and family despite not having the most basic skills or knowledge on the job. If you're an outsider you will always be an outsider. You will be ridiculed on a daily by thr inexperienced employees for trying to make a change for the better. Retaliation is how people survive here.
