      Pros

      There are really no positive aspects of this company ~ being a female in this "trucking" environment leaves you to wondering how they are successful

      Cons

      1. Poor Inter-Department Communications 2. Constant Internal Political Turmoil 3. Below Average Pay Scale 4. Lack of Day Care and Parental Leave of Absences 5. Above National Average Turn-Over 6. Horrible Cubicle Workstations 7. Performance Appraisals are based on personal relationships and not your work accomplishments or performance

      Pros

      Ryder is not afraid to experiment with lean tools.

      Cons

      Ryder relies too heavily on its 3PL clients to push lean objectives causing great confusion among associates and supervisors.

      Pros

      Very large company giving lots of opportunity for career growth and lateral movement. If you are looking to grow within the company and have a long-term career outlook, then Ryder can be very promising. Very strong attention to employee and customer safety. Very-well defined policies and procedures. Company offers lots of training opportunities. Some of the employee benefits are nice.

      Cons

      Ryder is not forward-looking in terms of technology adoption. Antiquated use of technology and systems are literally 20-years behind the times (just to mention one example: I observed a Y2K-type system failure in 2015 due to one of these systems - undoubtedly costing the company millions). Lack of integrated systems and technology contributes to a lot of frustration at administrative and mid-level management roles, and contributes to tremendous losses in productivity. Salaried staff literally has to make-up for inadequate tools (systems and technology) by putting-in extra hours at work. The joke is that if you work for Ryder you only have to work half-days (meaning 12-hours).
