Employees say:

"This is a genuinely collaborative environment to its core. Teammates competing for promotions collaborate with each other and even conduct mock interviews for each other. Everyone understands that we all benefit from building our team up rather than focusing on our own personal gain. Teammates also have genuine care and compassion for each other. Even when TMs disagree on a matter, they still remain not just civil, but friendly, and when it comes to a work process, a collaborative approach is taken to ensure the best results."

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."
