Very productive and relaxed corporate environment
Sr. Admin Assistant (Current Employee), Alpharetta, GA –
Pros: free lunches and variety of foods in the cafeteria, flexible scheduling, professional atmosphere
A typical day consist of first verifying any billing work needed and then verification of administrative work needed. I begin logging in to review system for soon to be billed updates.
I complete my daily tasks and assingments via spreadsheet look ups and research needed. I do reporting as neccessary. I learned different shortcuts of navigating through – more...  systems which made me more proficient and able to deliver on deadlines earlier than expected. Management is very flexible and experienced which allows little room for era but also patience if there is a consistent problem. The culture and coworkers are very amiable and ready and willing to help with any problem work related. The hardest part of the job was when I first had to multitask at my first deadline and I was still new to the system. What I enjoy most is seeing myself grow by the response and feedback from management. Taking on challenges offered helped me in the longrun for longterm success. – less

Not a bad company
Customer Service/Driver (Former Employee), Denver, Colorado –
Pros: good overall management
Cons: require college degree for advancement
Had a good time overall working for the company. When I was removed from one account looked to find something else within the company. But due to their requirements, and feeling that if you do not have a college Degree you are not qualified for a lot of jobs, no matter what your experience levels are, they could not do anything further

Worked in a 3 person office- very close relationships with one another
Vehicle Sales Manager (Former Employee), Houston, TX –
Pros: co-workers, hours, customer relations, pay, cr
Cons: lack of support from upper mgmt, focus change : cs to money
Worked from 8-till whenever my work was done for the day.
Dealt with phone calls, walk ins, maintaining customer relationships with past buyers while trying to fulfill an average quota of selling 20 units per month.
Everyday I learned about the mechanics of the trucks being sold would learn about different businesses of people who I was selling to. – more...  Every day there were unlimited things to be learned. I feel like I took full advantage of every opportunity that presented itself.
My coworkers were great. When you work in a small office you really become more of a family. We had a phenomenal relationship and would have dropped anything at any point to help one another out.
The hardest part of the job was the frustration of upper mgmt. not necessarily understanding what we did in the office on a day to day basis and how much was expected of us. Often times, without their full understanding of how much work was already on our plates they never found it to be a big deal to keep adding and adding which constantly took away time for us to focus on the customer and real job which was to sell, sell, sell,
The most enjoyable part of my job was serving the customers. To be able to help someone purchase a truck that will then allow them to be employed and make a living was one of the best feelings in the world. One reason I was no longer proud to work for Ryder was because they were tying the hands of the vehicle sales manager’s ability to help a customer if they were having any issues with a truck that you had just sold them. When I first started they were customer service focused and by the end of my time with Ryder they were more concerned with financials and their own wellbeing, even when we promise "road ready" equipment. – less

All about business work environment
Customer Logistics Manager (Current Employee), Houston, TX –
Pros: descent pay, freedom to manage, treated with respect
Cons: high stress, fast paced, forever pushing limits
I have worked for Ryder for 7 years and the job is never ending. The pay is descent and the freedom allowed to managers ranks among the highest I have experienced. The daily work environment is fast-paced, high stress and requires great focus and stamina.

Ryder is very safety conscious and treats their employees with respect and the freedom to learn – more...  from mistakes and grow with each experience. – less

Administration Facilities (Former Employee), Jacksonville, FL –
A typical day starts with reviewing the project at hand and determind the next step for completion. I learned that the entire team is important in order to achieve the best product. Management is very cooperative and will answer any and all questions I may have in order to complete the project properly. My co-workers are eccential for communication – more...  with every project I am working on. The hardest part of the job is making sure every question and idea the client has has been answered and met. The most rewarding part of the jod is seeing a smile of complete satisfaction on the clients face – less

Vehicle Sales Representative (Former Employee), Laurel, MD –
Pros: good benefits, training in miami, good morale amongst co-workers
Cons: pay scale not equal to amount of work
My position as Vehicle Sales Representative is very demanding. You have to pay acute attention to detail and stay extremely organized. In my opinion, the workload outweighs the pay. We ran a 2-man operation and I was required to do/know just as much as the manager but was not paid as such. As long as you do your job, there is good security within the – more...  company. There is room to grow as they like to hire from within first. One of my personal favorite incentives was training in Miami...Good vacation! – less

Engineer Technical Claim Processor (Former Employee), Miami, FL –
Pros: clean enviroment, green mentallity, excellent relations with top vendors, a placed to progress and advance.
Cons: found no cons.
I rated this company A+. Their logistics, their staff, the way they forecast the economy with positive and lucrative results, the compensation, the benefits packages and the retirement plans offered to their employees makes each employee proud of being part of the Ryder family.
The way Ryder served their customers and the dedication of their employees – more...  to each account, each customer place Ryder in the top range of companies in this market. Something to be proud. – less
