Pros

It's a great group of people to work with. Employees tend to stay with the company for many years. Work/life balance is very good. The Executive team genuinely cares about the company and making it a success.

Cons

Salary and benefits are average at best. Bonuses are hardly worth it unless you are senior staff. Owned by a private equity firm whose business is making as big a profit as possible, hence the laying-off of many staff when they bought Ryerson. Present Ryerson executive team is working hard to turn things around and build up the business again, but it takes time.

Pros

Small teams made for a close knit culture that helped create collaboration and efficiency. Open floor plan worked well for this as well. Reasonable work expectations; you're not expected to be there 60 hours a week. Friendly environment.

Cons

Seems to be slow opportunity for advancement and it's tough to get a job there without a few years of experience. A lot of positions opened up due to employees leaving while I was there.
