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

Good equipment, easy work, safe work environment, Benefits so/so, stock purchase option.

Cons

Company dose not apparently look into there management very well before they hire them. You can't invest in any stock because of the low pay (16.50) an hour in todays market is low Company dose not offer any raises. An experienced drivers such as myself with 25+ years should be at a minimum of 18.00 an hour. The work schedule is 3 days on 1.5 days off 2.5 days on 3 days off 1.5 days on 2.5 days off 12 hour days. the 3 day on/off is the weekend so you work every other weekend, but management works Monday through Friday 8 to 9 hours a day that's just wrong. They have a Zero policy in place so If you do something wrong it doesn't matter that you have an flawless record or not they don't want to hear it. They just fire you.
