Pros

I have yet to find one.

Cons

Where to start? I worked at the Beaver Dam plant for the last 4 summers before it was bought out by Ryder. It was a place I definitely could have viewed myself working at for a long time. However, Ryder took over and the company absolutely sucks! They wanted to dock my pay from $12.50/hr to $8.00/hr my fourth year there. Really? You want me to have to work for $4.50 less per hour for working 3rd shift, 7 nights a week all summer? Yea, right. Also, I was laid off because your company STILL INSISTS on hiring inmates and when I was threatened by one he kept his job and I lost mine. I know the local papers would love a story like that.

Pros

Better than unemployment. Very casual culture: jeans and flips type of place. Can set your own hours.

Cons

Low starting pay. Advancements & merit raises are far and in between. If and when you do get a raise, don't be insulted if it's only 5 to 10 cents an hour. Rising healthcare costs due to aging and fattening staffs.

Pros

They're a well known name. The outside perception is that Ryder is a "good company". Employees that have been there for years (20+ years of service is quite common) say its a stable company. The company sincerely cares about the community. There are a few little perks that I've not found at other South Florida companies.

Cons

The executive level is a good old boys network. White male dominant (European-Americans and fair skinned Latin Americans). Very, very conservative. Also, if you're an IT professional, run away. This isn't the company for you.
