Contracted work for customer.
Customer Logistics Supervisor (Current Employee) – Wentzville, MO – August 17, 2018
I work for ryder as a contracted worker for a larger plant. Management is there to please the customer for which we are contracted by, obviously . And I have not had the feeling that our backs were protected. It is a nice company to work for. Looks like there are a lot of opportunities for advancement, as long as you are willing to relocate.
Pros
Benefits and vacation hours
Cons
No structure
Its an alright company to work for, if you desperately need a job
Delivery Driver (Current Employee) – Mid-South – August 16, 2018
I would not recommend working for Ryder to anybody!!! They Do Not give pay raises or bonuses,regardless of your work ethics, or seniority!!! They micromanage their employees! They don't care anything about their employees...Only Ryder, itself!!! And...the insurance benefits sucks!!!
Good place to start out
Diesel Mechanic trainee (Former Employee) – Scott, la – August 15, 2018
It was annoying having to stop what I was doing to do something else. Pay was not that great but it paid the Bill's for the most part. Was hired for the morning shift but was moved to mid shift.
Pros
Close to home
Cons
Low pay, shift i was hired for was not the shift i worked
Great place to work

I always felt like working at Ryder was a great place to work... For the most part, it felt like family... We always did what we could to help each other out
Pros
What you did was noticed and you always felt like you were appreciated

Case picker/ Reach fork lift operator (Former Employee) – Atlanta, GA – August 14, 2018
I don't recommend no one to work here. The management is very poor as well as the human resource department. It is very very hot in there this time of the year and they have very few fans to support the heat. My experience there was not good at all.
Look elsewhere
Journeyman Diesel Technician (Current Employee) – Spokane, WA – August 14, 2018
Not a good company for someone starting out in a career. Poor management from the top down make Ryder a very frustrating company to work for. More concerned with pleasing shareholders then treating employees with dignity and respect.
Pros
Consistent work
Cons
Too many to list
Poor Upper Management
Quality Manager III (Former Employee) – Novi, MI – August 11, 2018
Okay for middle management
There are a lot of tight knit groups of people who are married etc and have cliques. These people are promoted and cherished. Others (not the beautiful people) are not.
Do not consider home life a part of YOUR life. Only work, work, work.
No PTO

The Worst environment!
Logistics Manager (Former Employee) – Piscataway, NJ – August 10, 2018
The culture at this place is a me 1st one. No one cares and why should they when the company could give a rats azz! They are all a bunch of bean counters trying to run a transportation company.
Lots of opportunity
Business Analyst (Current Employee) – Alpharetta, GA – August 9, 2018
As with most large companies, there are lots of opportunities to move to different positions and levels within Ryder. Each position is different and you can find your niche. Some people have been there over 30 years.
Typical transportation company. Nothing special.
Human Resource Coordinator (Former Employee) – Stockton, CA – August 9, 2018
It is an okay company to work for, if you live locally. I enjoyed the people I work with, but not necessary into working around semi trucks or truck drivers.
Some accounts are not bad, but others are a nightmare.
Account Lead (Current Employee) – Fort Worth, TX – August 8, 2018
They always under contract and every launch is a nightmare. This causes no work life balance and it's not a good place to work if you have a family. Some accounts are better than most, however it seems as though all management is uninvolved until something goes wrong. The management does not care to help it's team.
Pros
Commute isn't bad.
Cons
No work life balance. Poor management teams not built on quality
Great place to work
Customer Logistics Manager (Former Employee) – Cleveland, NC – August 7, 2018
Flexible hours, travel, working onsite with customers. The company has many benefits and opportunities for advancement. The only drawback are the number of meetings, depending on the size of the account. Trying to balance work and personal life can become an issue, however, it is manageable. I would recommend this company for those who are driven and self-sufficient.
Pros
Independent workload
Cons
travel
A little dysfunctional but a great place to work
Technician III (Current Employee) – Goodlettsville, TN – August 6, 2018
A little dysfunctional but a great place to work. How things are done are always getting changed. There is a serious lack of communication between management and employees. The atmosphere in the shop is unpredictable. One day everything is fine and the next everything is screwed up.
Stressful environment and awful mangement
Diesel Technician (Current Employee) – Columbia, SC – August 6, 2018
Ryder itself isnt a bad company to work for but the Columbia shop and its management is the worst that I have EVER worked for. The manager dont care about their employees and only look and care about their numbers. They play favorites and if you arent one of them then they hang you out to dry. They have you do work that they havent trained you on and getting trained on anything takes forever. I would NOT recommend the Columbia shop to ANYONE!!
Embarrisingly outdated businees ethics for such an establised company
Shipment Management Coordinator (Former Employee) – Fort Worth, TX – August 6, 2018
I was really excited to work for this company but it soon turned out to be a disappointment. a typical work day was me pulling reports and updating information no one else felt the need to. I did learn a little bit about tracking and tracing but not enough to be proficient. Management are the people who stayed below the radar long enough to gain tenure but unfortunately that didn't qualify them to lead. They have an extremely high turnover rate not to be a call center. The hardest part of the job was the narrow minded personalities and the learning curve of not being trained. I was brought on through a staffing agency and promised tempt to hire and was offered $15 as starting pay. Everyone is afraid of getting fired so there is a tension there can be cut with a knife. There is little to no training on what the work process is and no one can or will give you a clear answer to how anything really works. Their benefits package is laughable and not worth sticking around for since you're basically on a 90 day probation before you can enroll. The commute is taxing no matter what part of DFW you live in since it's practically in the middle of nowhere. Working there was like being in the twilight zone because it was a wonder the place functioned. Their headquarters is located in Michigan I believe and I feel that is part of the problem with communication. But who knows problems tend to trickle down. This is the place to be if you need to get caught up on any audible books though.
Pros
weekly pay
Cons
