Pros

There is a pretty good work life balance here and the people in the company are very knowledgeable because most of them have been here for 20+ years. The CEO is great.

Cons

There is an oder workforce and they are not always open to new ideas or new directions for the company. As a young professional, it often feels like I am beating my head against the wall a little bit. We often try to present new ideas or ways of doing things that fall on deaf ears.

Too many baby boomers making decisions

Pros

Ok work/balance. We received company lunch from time to time

Cons

The company pays for people not for talent. Not a great place to work if you aren't a GenXer or a Baby Boomer. The environment is dry, and creativity is not encouraged. With Ryerson being a private company, it's really not much you can expect from the company.

Pros

Good work life balance, summer hours, they are trying to incorporate a younger generation of employees to improve the culture.

Cons

Not a warm friendly environment, a bit stuffy. If you want to move up, you have to find a new city/plant to do it in. Everyone just keeps their heads down and does their work.
