Nucor Corporation Compensation Employee Reviews

What is the best part about your compensation package?

I believe we are paid fairly based on ROA.

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 9 days ago

We get paid for the work we put in

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 10 days ago

The best part about the compensation package is that it is performance driven and rewards hard work, results, and teamwork. I also appreciate the long term opportunities, profit sharing, and strong benefits because it shows the company invests in its teammates.

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 10 days ago

The best part is that the salary I am given is genereous with commission and bonuses as "the cherry on top" as I like to say

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 10 days ago

Guarenteed base salary and additional bonus compensation based on sales goals

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 10 days ago

Yippee day is a great boost, even for moral!

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 10 days ago

The best part about my compensation package is being paid for my performance, which drives me to always put my best foot forward.

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 10 days ago

the 401k percentage match for retirement

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 10 days ago

Relocation packages were fantastic both times. Received a ton of help from leadership on that. I love watching my 401k grow month over month as well.

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 10 days ago

Profit sharing and ROA bonuses are really exciting and motivating!

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 11 days ago

The cash compensation and retirement benefits

Review from HR Dept · Posted 11 days ago

Profit sharing + ROA bonus

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 11 days ago

The best part of my compensation package if the opportunity to achieve a very healthy bonus on top of my very fair base.

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 12 days ago

ROA bonus and profit sharing

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 12 days ago

The ROA Bonus and profit sharing.

Review from Sales Dept · Posted 12 days ago

Knowing that we're all working together as a team and that when we succeed, we do so together.

Review from HR Dept

It is fair, clear, and no sorprises

Review from Engineering Dept

It helps me and my family

Review from Engineering Dept

Profit Sharing and ROA bonus.

Review from Marketing Dept

The paid vacation time wow

Review from Engineering Dept

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Accommodate for cost of living

Review from Engineering Dept

Better healthcare benefits, more competitive base pay BEFORE bonuses.

Review from Operations Dept

I take on more responsibilities than other teammates with the same or higher title

Review from IT Dept

in mexico its lower than US

Review from IT Dept

more comprehensive health insurance benefits

Review from IT Dept

Our vacation and raises/benefits are not comparable to others in the industry. Especially for technical staff. However, depending on your manager/site, you are able to flex your schedule within reason, which is nice.

Review from Operations Dept

Nucor used to be the top paying job in the low country. Compared to the ports and other business I feel like we are not compensated enough.

Review from Engineering Dept

better benefit's medical and better vacation pay

Review from Operations Dept

Have pay reflect what our DC is. We should share in the wealth when the division/department is doing well and vice versa.

Review from Operations Dept

I don't feel undervalued, but Nucor needs to accept that other companies are catching up to our pay scale and providing better benefits, all while working in less harsh conditions. If we want to acquire and maintain the best talent out there, we need to gain back that competitive advantage.

Review from Engineering Dept

Pay more equivalent across divisions/like jobs

Review from Engineering Dept

Because there are other companies in the area that are paying more. There is no room for growth within the department.

Review from Admin Dept

The skilled labor market in the area has dwindled down and while other companies are making major strides to surpass us with better benefits, high wages, and improved working environments. Raise the compensation wages.

Review from Operations Dept

I am a new and very experienced employee. I do not feel the rate I started at is indicative of the skills I possess.

Review from Engineering Dept

Pay has not kept up with inflation. Less that 1.9% year over year general increase in wages going back 20 plus years. Groceries, cars, homes have all increased dramatically while wages have lagged behind.

Review from Operations Dept

Nucor teammates used to be paid far above the regional median salary. We are falling below that pay scale. It is very clear in the talent that we attract. Thousands of people used to apply for our job pool. Now we are lucky to get 100. A 15% pay increase would be consumed by inflation at this point.

Review from Operations Dept

I am undervalued compared to peers who have significant less responsibilities and direct reports. I have over 30 direct reports and get paid the same as someone with zero direct reports.

Review from Engineering Dept

When I look at comps for similar positions there are other companies paying $10-$20k more. Additionally, Nucor is hiring people in at much hire rates than what I'm making and paying recruiter fees for them.

Review from HR Dept

I have not received any pay increases except for cost of living increase.

Review from Operations Dept

I feel the raises I have received haven't even came close to the the rise in cost of goods, fuel and etc.
