Business Outlook
Pros
Ryerson is a good company to break into business to business sales with. The main entry level sales position is Inside Sales Representative and in this role you will receive a "fair" amount of training to be effective in your job. Ryerson's employees are GREAT people. Employees will have a pretty good benefit package. If you do get a job at Ryerson, soak up 2 years of experience max. and move to a better paying industry.
Cons
In 2007 Ryerson was purchased by a private equity group, Platinum Equity. Back when Ryerson was publicly held,owned by Inland Steel, or ISPAT they took much better care of their employees. There are very few opportunities for advancement and the lines will usually be long within this organization.
