Pros

Experience within Supply Chain...you have the opportunity to learn all aspects of transportation management.

Cons

Very demanding workload. Cannot be proactive only reactive due to internal/external requests. Often times having to take work home just to stay "some what" above water. Employees do no receive raises either...promotions are the only means to increase salary. Lastly, the training is very minimal...you have to learn a lot on the fly & depending on your department, there will definitely be a substantial amount of info to take in.

Pros

The hours are set for the most part and you are paid an hourly wage.

Cons

Sometimes the managers dont know what they are doing. It was hard to get into the required classes to move up.

Pros

Ryder is an established stable company. The company offers average benefits and pay. Decent work life balance and nice office facilities. Cafeteria etc

Cons

The Novi office is fully of cronyism and nepotism. The Sr Management hire their friends and relatives into higher level open positions instead of offering promotions based on merit and achievement. Husband and wife working in the same department is common even in senior position. Sr management pretends that there is no effect on employee morale. Sr Management will create dummy high level positions for their friends and their wives. There is a lot more focus on politics and career as opposed to doing your job. For every project there are 6-8 Sr management, people involved telling 2-3 people how they should do their work. Very slow to learn new technologies and make changes in the company Overall the Novi office is a terrible place to work if you are interested in career advancement and actually doing any meaningful work.
