Pros

-Great pay (Started at $43k, currently making $45.5k + OT) -Learn how to manage a location / branch -Managing assets and P&L -Fortune 500 company -Fantastic intro to sales if that's what you're looking for

Cons

On the rental side of the business there is really only one career path being sales. The large majority of people within the rental management program will relocate to different states to become account managers. A small portion can become location managers but the vast majority become account managers and then will either leave the company after a year or two in that role or promote into a lease salesperson.

Pros

Location and building amenities are not bad. Everything else sucks..

Cons

If you want to work in a no-future, no expectations environment, then this is your place. Technology wise this place is a pre-historic cavern, and don't get fooled, they still use main frames..workstations are the crappiest pc's you have ever seen, I mean, Chinatown market has better ones. The worst, management is live image of a mafia family, your life there will be a vegetative state where you will learn ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, and at the moment you leave the Co. you will become a disgrace. Ryder has a policy to not give you references for other employment opportunities, and it will not re-hire you the moment you leave the company, no matter how beneficial your tech knowledge could be for them. My manager almost threaten me the moment I said I was leaving for another company, he tried to coerce me to stay but refused to even talk about contract re-negotiation. To be clear, you will be harassed, pressured for the most idiotic details. Once I brought a hoodie and that almost cost me my job!. I know it's tempting, and from outside they look completely different, but believe me...stay away.. Management will not treat you fairly, or pay fairly or give you any fair chance to grow as a professional.

Cons

-management is slow and some managers are vindictive, they can hold a grudge. -Trucks do not get fixed the way they should. -you are just a number when you work at Ryder, they try to control your life inside and outside of work. -Warwick location has split days off.
