Pros

Learned about the metals industry in a short period of time because Ryerson has employees that have been with the company for 10+, 20+, and 30+ years who take pride in passing along their knowledge. There is potential for career growth at Ryerson with 100+ plants across the country. Ryerson Academy is a great way to get into the company for graduating students or people looking for a career change. Fast-paced, puts your focus and skills to the test.

Cons

Communications on strategy and direction as a whole company can be better. I feel that information from the top all the way down to the bottom is delayed, miscommunicated or not communicated at all. Perhaps a company-wide communication letter can be sent to all employees. Fast-paced, can be stressful if you're not used to multi-tasking and staying organized.
