I don't even know where to begin, from the first interaction he has been super helpful, kind, professional and very encouraging which was needed during the worry time of being on the market looking for new opportunities. I have been a part of the Ryerson team for less than a month now and so far, i am so happy i have made the decision to accept this offer. everyone is super kind and helpful, the company is very good to its employees. I plan to stay and grow my career here at Ryerson and I could not have done it without Nicholas K, thank you!
