      I was exposed to many products and customers, but the employee culture was dismal.

      Pros

      Product Variety, Customer Variety, exposed to fabrication in addition to raw materials, national in scope, plenty of opportunity for advancement, especially if willing to move.

      Cons

      Strategy is always changing....never been associated with a company where it's so guardrail to guardrail, and changes so abruptly. Is not a culture that values employees, but one that is always looking to prop up the next quarterly statement...few decisions being made for the long term good of the organization.

      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.
