"Ehh. Maybe?"

Pros
Benefits no layoffs potential to make more
Cons
Poor management and leadership. Cheap on equipment costing you production incentive for down and broken equipment and no desire to improve. Overly "safety" minded except always. More of a as I say not as it matters sort of thing. Very rough to deal with a two faced place.

Pros
The culture and values of Nucor is unlike anywhere else I have worked. Nucor teammates are treated like family and are empowered to make decisions and bring up ideas and solutions to management.
Cons
The vacation policy isn't as good, but it's still pretty average. Flexibility in work hours varies across divisions. A majority of the positions don't have a lot of room for growth, then there are a few that the opportunities are endless.
Advice to Management
Keep everyone informed on what's going on or what's coming up.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Nucor full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
Pay was good benefits were ok hours depended on the job and location. I thought it was a great place
Cons
Put in 13 years of honest work between 2 divisions. Got treated like a number not a person. Trying to schedule things outside of work was a nightmare because shifts were cancelled all the time. Management doesn't care about the "teammates" only the bottom line.
Advice to Management
Get some new managers
