Pros

Good culture. Constant opportunity for growth and development for those that want it. Management encourages employees to set goals and works with them. Great benefits.

Cons

Some management is stuck on the idea of hiring only people with industry experience. Vacation policy a little stingy when you are just hired if you don't negotiate.

Pros

Ryerson fosters a challenging and thought-provoking environment that makes every day different from the last. Employees are urged and rewarded for thinking outside the box. Ryerson provides its employees the flexibility to map out their own multi-functional career path for the 5, 10, 15+ year horizon. Excellent work/life balance.

Cons

The company operates in the metals space, so when there are adverse conditions in broader industry, it can create inherent headwinds for Ryerson and its employees.

Pros

There are many opportunities for those that excel in the current position and willing to take on new challenges. It is a dynamic and fast paced environment that focuses on safety, employee development, and growth.

Cons

I have worked for many companies during my career, each with their own opportunities for improvement. Ryerson has continued to improve employee benefits, safety, training, opening advancement beyond traditional regional borders. The transformation has left many unable to change with the times and left them unsatisfied, however I believe the overall plan has begun to proven to be the right decision.
