Ryder System Reviews in Detroit, MI Area

Pros

I enjoy the flexible scheduling available. The benefits are fair and comprehensive. There are opportunities to learn (classes and presentations).

Cons

Promotional raises are pretty small. I feel underpaid for my position. They treat new hires better than exisiting employees (compensation wise).If you hire in at a lesser salary you will always be underpaid. The work can be stressful at times (I work for the Auto Industry).

Advice to Senior Management

compensate existing employees better so that you can retain talent.

Pros

Very fair when it comes to work/life balance. The ability to work from home exists if necessary. Also, immediately start off with two weeks paid vacation. Good company match for the 401K program.

Cons

Compensation is slightly lower than industry averages.

Advice to Senior Management

Communicate changes/updates to their employees in a timely and effective manner.

Pros

Good computing equipment.
Nice co-workers.
Avoid homelessness.

Cons

Management favoritism toward "good ol' boy" subordinates.
Salaries won't keep you from continuing to look for other jobs.

Advice to Senior Management

Make salaries and compensation a lot better.

Pros

It is a great place to work if you are dissatisfied with your salary and are not looking for any promotional opportunities.

Cons

There is culture of teams working independently without opportunity to learn other areas of the business through cross-functional projects. The company has a UAW labor force that basically runs the warehouse and trucking parts of the company.

Advice to Senior Management

Human Resources has too much power and influence in hiring and firing people and this hurts the ability to attract and retain talent.
