Nucor Reviews

Pros

Everyone truly cares about each other & pushes to better yourself.

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.

Advice to Management

If no one has told you, morale is extremely low. From the melt shop to the shipping bay. There is nothing being proactively done to make the job enjoyable, and you would be wrong to think that having a job you enjoy doesn't matter. Turn focus back to the employees, listen to them to figure out how to make the job better. This place can really be a great place to work, but under the current maintenance management we have lost too many good electricians due to poor leadership.

Pros

Stability, nucor has been around a long time and claims to have never laid anyone off due to lack of work.

Advice to Management

Market value not really offered for pay, and the 401k plan here is really sub-par.

Pros

The people and the benefits.

Advice to Management

Actually listen to the people you have working under you instead of talking over them.

I was happy when I first came aboard and looking forward to the possibilities, However dealing with the management changed my mind quickly and really made me want to leave badly and with the exception of maybe the one or two top people in the office most people have no Idea what is going on because the information does not filter down from the top. Also to be fair I was dealing with some non work related issues that made it much easier for me to leave the office and not that it's an excuse but they were extremely short handed which led to me receiving almost zero training. I would say that the Managment is very honest and does try to be fair however I also think they are over worked and under staffed which makes it tough to give new employees the training they need and deserve.

Pros

Good team and great customer service

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.

Advice to Management

Need to step up your game! If all ideas are coming from your workers, you may need to reevaluate your role in the Hierarchy...

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.

Advice to Management

Previously my suggestions have fell on deaf ears. Some higher ups are educated beyond their intelligence level and just can't allow advice from an hourly employee cloud their scholarly education. However, this is the real world and the wheels keep spinning. Overall, I find that management tries to do whats best for the company. I choose not to offer advice but to just say, Regardless whether your and hourly or salaried employee of Nucor, There is always room for improvement. Never have a "settle for" attitude.
