      I worked at Ryder System (More than 8 years)

      Pros

      I started with Ryder right out of the Marine Corps and was at the bottom of the pay scale and over the 8 years I worked for them I moved through several different roles up into a couple of management roles. Benefits were great, between the GI Bill and their tuition reimbursement I was able to complete my bachelors and masters degree. It was a good family oriented environment.

      Cons

      The account I managed had a high turnover with drivers, they need to work on getting new talent, even if they have a driver training program. Most of the time I managed my locations I was always short drivers.

    2. "Sales"

      I worked at Ryder System full-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      Good job, good pay, good benefits. I mean it’s easy to score a job driving a forklift but ryder does take categories of their employees and pays the decent as well.

      Cons

      Every job has the same cons, feeling as though management doesn’t understand even though they do. It’s just they are doing their job based on the rules they have to follow

      Advice to Management

      Be more understanding

      I worked at Ryder System full-time (More than 10 years)

      Pros

      Hiring process is comprehensive deal and usually involves multiple interviews. The experience you bring to the table is important; your expectations and plans not so much. Remember you will be in a learning situation if you are sucessful, so make that clear in the interview.

      Cons

      You may find starting salary offers and positions tend to be somewhat under expectations /other logistics companies, but Ryder is an incredible learning environment (internal training as well as their willingness to pay for post grad courses taken and passed)

      Advice to Management

      Hire diversity.

      Pros

      Great people
      Decent Health/retirement benefits
      Flexible work schedule

      Cons

      Zero based budget.
      new contracts with little no maintenance.

      Advice to Management

      Do not just our right cut your employees especially those who have shown themselves to work above and beyond.

      When you grow your business, have everything written down and be upfront with your employees.

      I have been working at Ryder System full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      I have been with Ryder System for a little over a year. I am proud to work here for a number of reasons. We work as a team and we succeed as a team. The employees I work with on a daily basis couldn't be more of a positive group of individuals. There are recruiters all over the country that you work with that you may not have met face to face, but you know anyone is willing to lend a hand. Ryder is a company that provides outstanding benefits, growth, training and an incredible work/life balance.

      Cons

      The only cons I have experienced is hard to fill markets for recruiting. Once you have the right tools and know how to source with boolean strings these hard to fill markets become a lot easier to manage.

    10. "Very conservative"

      Pros

      Have been dependable in the past. However, new budget tightening is concerning.

      Cons

      Employees are overworked and underpaid

      Advice to Management

      Worry less about stock dividends and more about employee compensation.
