Pros

Steady place. Not too demanding. In a solid business with a regional model that is good for those that mind decentralized power structures.

Cons

Business goes and comes with the commodities market. So be prepared for budget cuts in the lean 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.
