Employees say:

"Working at Nucor, you hear on day one, 'we are a family.' Often that seems like lip service at other facilities or entities, but at Nucor, I was able to experience this firsthand. I lost a cherished loved one and my plant manager didn't care about days missed, work not being completed, or productivity; he cared about my kids and how they would be impacted. He wanted to know if we had food at the house or a cleaning service while we were grieving. He wanted to ensure for the holidays we were together and that they enjoyed their holiday break. He cared about ME. That spoke volumes to the level of care this company—this family displayed for my family at home."
