Pros

The ONLY good thing is the commission structure, you can make a bunch of money by doing very little.

Cons

Where do I start.....Management is heads and above the worst I've ever encountered. Middle management is a revolving door and to have a new manager for each year you are with the company is a regular occurrence. Poor selection process is where it starts(if you are a big enough sucker to relocate and take a low paying, lower management position(LRM or BRM) you are automatically looked at before other more qualified options), Ryder only considers past Ryder experience (anything you do prior to working there is not considered and as far as Ryder is concerned never happened). Ryder breeds managers not LEADERS! You will never be coached, encouraged or praised for good work. Managers don't lead by example they show up late and throw thier subordinates under the bus at every chance they get usually to save thier own jobs. Salaries for sales and management are far below industry standard and unless you are at Director level or above your ideas and thoughts don't matter. Directors are selfish and get to decide if other departments can consider you for promotions always putting their own immediate needs above yours and your future. Reductions in work force(RIFs) are a yearly occurrence which typically follow inept upper management over promising share holders on unattainable revenue and sales figures. Benefits(health) are awful and expensive. I only recommend Ryder to those who need something to hold them over until they find something better.

Pros

Great hours, I have an awesome OS and OM. I was salary exempt so if I worked over 40 hours I was paid hourly after that. I was also paid weekly which was extremely nice.

Cons

No relocation assistance for in-state promotions.

Pros

You get to work on real supply chain problems that actually matter to operations, not just theoretical stuff. Remote flexibility is solid and the work-life balance is fair. The tech stack is modern (Snowflake, Azure, Power BI) and if you're someone who takes initiative, you'll get the chance to own things end-to-end. The people you work with day-to-day are genuinely good and most teams have a collaborative culture.

Cons

Growth from senior level and beyond can be painfully slow even when you're clearly doing the work above your role. Leadership and org changes happen often which resets your visibility and momentum with whoever is advocating for you. Some areas still lack clear ownership so things fall through the cracks or land on whoever is willing to pick them up. Pay doesn't always reflect the scope of what you're actually doing.
