Business Outlook
Pros
Oldest employer in Chicago, where there was once a feeling of camaraderie and unified mission. Their size had offered opportunities for advancement, as they had a policy of promoting from within.
Cons
Recent ownership by Platinum Equity, (3 years) has resulted in poor executive management decisions with regard to strategic planning and execution. Internal confusion has interrupted customer service, resulting in lost actual and potential revenues. Poor communication has created an environment of employee suspicion and mistrust, The ongoing and pending divestment will ultimately reduce market share and jeopardize remaining employment opportunities. Things may improve once Ryerson has new ownership.
