Rental Management Trainee (Former Employee) – Baton Rouge, LA – October 17, 2018
The staff was wonderful, but too much politics at the region I worked at. For most part, wasn't a bad job overall; five day work week with rotating Saturdays with mediocre pay.
Pros
Flexibility with lunches
Cons
Politics
Fast paced, high stress, no help
Customer Service Representative / Parts Department (Current Employee) – Orlando, FL – October 17, 2018
A typical day is non-stop and fast paced in the office. Phones constantly ring with road calls and customers needing information about units. Typically there are no notes in the system so immediate communication is difficult. Management is never around, and HR complaints result in "It will get better...just give it time." Everything you learn will be OJT.
Pros
Great Benefits
Cons
Poor management
numbers over safety
Forklift Operator (Former Employee) – Shippensburg Pa – October 17, 2018
I worked there 5 years between 2 locations. transferring from Neville to shippensburg, when the newville location closed. I didnt get the first years raise, their explanation. I hadn't worked for ship plant a year?! ok nice little loop hole. Things digressed as the years continued. I did my job, numbers above average. They informed us they were starting a new program to give us bonuses. the more we did the higher the bonus. not a SINGLE member of management could explain how it worked and no surprise to me. we never received a single bonus. I was promised an extra dollar an hour to train new employees. when I received my check I was informed this was not true an what I received added up to 16cents an hour far less that I was promised. I then refused to train new staff. over the years I witnessed countless amounts of tattle tailing and gossip have even found myself being the subject of whispers. I can handle that. we had safety meeting after safety.in these meetings our managers came up with the idea of captain of the ship. if you think something is unsafe you can call said " captian of the ship", your manager then has to review the situation and and
decide if it is in fact unsafe. So in this time we have managers pulling lifts out of maintenance, due to not having enough equipment for the staff. they were taken off the floor for a reason. but as long as you keep quiet and risk ur safety for the company, there is no proplem. I have been hit by another forklift driver in the shippensburg warehouse. Thank God we were ok. but this made me all too aware at how dangerous these machines more... are. ryder uses propain lifts. so the reason of my rating is this. I called captain of the ship I felt the area I was working in was unsafe. my manager did not bother to check to see. Instead I was told to leave if i wasn't going to work there. I left. Next day the area that I called "captain of the ship" on was taped off, coincidentally it was fixed. However I was fired for insubordination. I worked there for 5 years, i worked mandatory overtime for the past 2 years. to be fired because management only cares about numbers, and that manager made up a better story than the truth. Icing on the cake I was denied unemployment. This was wrong and I hope they work to improve these issues. No one deserves to be treated like that. less
