Best working experience of my entire working career!
Pros
- Good company culture. - Great team camaraderie - well, I can only speak for the team I was on of course - Florida. - Job stability and prefers to promote from within. - Always something going on to keep your days interesting. - 15% off company stock, health / dental insurance, vision plan, & prescription plan available the 1st full month after employment (ex: your start date was 8/23 so your benefits kick in 9/1), HSA & FSA’s, legal assistance, cell phone discount and many other perks. - Transportation is an industry that will always be needed. - Good company culture-also, very different from their main competitor. - You learn a lot about a lot. - Sense of pride established…go ahead…drink the Ryder Koolaid…that shizzle is so good lol. - Ability to obtain an actual career in transportation without needing to go back to school, and in several vertices of the industry; alongside varies options of positions to move into.
Cons
- In most cases, you begin in an entry position but for a good cause-to learn the industry and what Ryder does however, this may be an unfavorable option in some peoples eyes. - The health and dental insurance could be better and the rates could be lower. - Average salary pay but upside is commissions are good - If you leave - on good terms of course - you may encounter some challenges getting back in if you wanted..mostly due to those being grandfathered in for promotion and prepped for the next role. - Rental is the underdog but caters to pretty much all product lines so you’ll work your a** off but it’s rewarding (or so was for me, I loved it but some may not).
