Pros

The company strives to support and engage its employees. The company is financially strong and is recognized as an industry leader that continues to grow. I have worked with many talented and dedicated people throughout the Ryder organization.

Cons

Comparitively, Ryder's salary for managers is lower than industry averages. Due to the nature and scope of geography, you must be willing, in most cases, to reloate to advance your career.

Pros

-Decent cheap food at headquarters -Depending on your manager can work from home after a month or so While it is hard to think of many in general the individual contributors and internal customers were generally friendly and easy to get along with.

Cons

-Low pay compared to market -High levels of stress -Average technical knowledge of workforce is below average at all IT levels -Over management of projects -Management technical understanding extremely limited -Very slow moving -Unrealistic expectations for deadlines -Limited opportunities for advancement -Raises are very small compared to market -General IT Resources are extremely limited -Development resources are limited -No centralized company source control -Management uses fear mongering to motivate -High Turnover The IT Department at Ryder is toxic, the belligerent style of management that is used at the senior level results in high turnover, gross incompetence, sky rocking cost, and flailing systemic value. The department uses an ineffective traditional engineering methodology for IT solutions to implement technology of yesteryear. Resources are very limited, simple requests like acquiring a database for testing a solution takes weeks to fulfill if you do not know the right person to get around the official procedure. Management is not willing to spend the money but still expect performance from IT personnel.
