Pros

unfortunately, there are many more reasons not to work at Ryerson but I can give one positive in my experience it was they paid me a very competitive salary.

Cons

I enjoy being a positive person but working for Ryerson just really brought me down. I guess my best example of this is when I started feeling like my name and my integrity was being tarnished while representing the company. There is right way and a wrong way to do business. Ryerson would be the example of what not to do.
