Pros

Ryerson has created a great training program for new employees. Their compensation is competitive and they offer great benefits. With the training program, they set new employees up for quick career advancement within the company. Leadership is fantastic with giving direction and constructive feedback on a consistent basis. It's great to be working for a company that is at the top of their industry. CEO and Senior Leadership have a great vision for the future of this company and do a good job of making changes to move towards that vision. Ryerson also offers opportunities for relocation.

Cons

While having the opportunity to relocate can be a pro, relocation is almost a necessity for quick advancement within the company. This can be difficult with a family. Ryerson should offer full relocation reimbursement rather than partial since they want employees willing to relocate.

Pros

The company is working hard to make sure there is a consistent culture and work ethic across the board. They have invested a lot into creating a program to make sure the best of the best are working for the company and work ethic is consistent across the board. Office culture is light hearted, but hard working. Very understanding when it comes to life outside of work, vacation time, sick days etc. Able to move up within the company. School reimbursement program is great for people wanting to continue their education.

Cons

The culture in some of the locations definitly needs a change, but it is noticed and is being worked on.

Pros

I love the working family within the branch. They make it worth coming to work everyday. I have always worked under a great management team of individuals that look for opportunities in advancing individuals to their best skill set. With the creation of the online profile now everyone from across the company can see a pool of talent to grab from. Ryerson is quickly advancing with the technological revolution in streamling individuals individual career paths. Ryerson has used technology to make it happen.

Cons

There is high pressure for quick results in a short amount of time. There is limited tool for market research.
