Vantaggi
Pay is slightly above average for the industry. Benefits are still respectable but are steadily eroding. The company is still one of the largest in the industry. Good place to learn the industry. Good co-workers still, but many have moved on,
Svantaggi
Short term bottom line and 'cut to profitability' thinking by executive management. High stress. Extremely unrealistic sales goals with ill thought out means to even attempt to achieve them. How did the 2013 goals work out?. Millions spent on ill thought out, wasteful, and expensive initiatives like a call-center (bad idea that causes confusion for customers and resentment internally) and Ryerson "Academy" (a GOOD idea but terribly implemented by the wrong people and far too costly). Company changes business philosophy every several years which causes confusion for customers.
