Pros

It's a great group of people to work with. Employees tend to stay with the company for many years. Work/life balance is very good. The Executive team genuinely cares about the company and making it a success.

Cons

Salary and benefits are average at best. Bonuses are hardly worth it unless you are senior staff. Owned by a private equity firm whose business is making as big a profit as possible, hence the laying-off of many staff when they bought Ryerson. Present Ryerson executive team is working hard to turn things around and build up the business again, but it takes time.

Ryerson has an amazing work culture, with helpful coworkers always willing to help & answer questions. As an intern, I get hands-on experience with real-world business tasks, and get the opportunity to work on meaningful projects. Overall, it is a good internship for building communication and problem-solving skills.

Cons

The metal industry is meticulous and hard to learn, but after a few weeks it only gets easier!
