Pros

The people really make the days great. Many of the people are fun and very funny happy people. Management was nice. I drove a nicer car than any other employee

Cons

I drove a nicer car than any other employee Sales calls are going to scripts, makes me want to vomit. Don't call an office environment a Sales hub if you make your employees sell using a script. That's not sales! The company is a bunch of tight wads and don't want to pay their employees bonuses. I was a high performing sales person and received a quarterly bonus of exactly 0 dollars (zip, zilch, zero). The bonus system works as such: -You will receive a WHOPPING 1.5% of profit margins on your sales -You will also receive an incentive based on how many calls you make, how close you stay to the script, and new leads. They call the position an inside sales rep in Minneapolis. But if you get the job please understand that you will be called a Call Center Rep. If you look to be working at a telemarketing company then you found it. You will go for weekly reviews of your calls because you are recorded at all times.

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.
