Pros

Work from home, equipment sent to you, some nice upper management….that do not have time to be supportive.

Cons

Northeast (which is what I was given to call on) NY, CT, PA, etc…. was particularly hard to call on when we were told to only use the CRM yet some ppl inherently got Indeed credits….all kinds of help, then at 2 1/2 months, I was told that they couldn’t see 1 person that I hired….then apparently “they were missing” according to Jessica… which apparently was her fault, according to her. Our dept. of recruitment grew from 10 ppl to 50+ in a matter of months which I could see based on how management acted a lot of the time….. Hannah my manager was really very sweet but clearly overworked and stressed. Lastly, look at the politics of hiring truck drivers for the past 3 years….. I ran into so many drivers on the phone that would laugh at the position I offered because either they had heard of it before and declined it already…. or we’re waiting on a better bonus or offer.

Pros

I worked with many hardworking frontline associates who genuinely cared about serving the customer. The company offers opportunities to gain experience in complex logistics operations, particularly in startup environments.

Cons

My experience was at a startup operation, so other Ryder locations may differ. During recruitment, the role was described as a senior leadership position focused on inventory accuracy, outbound execution, OS&D, process improvement, and developing leaders. Once I started, the role became primarily tactical execution centered on outbound load closure and daily firefighting. The startup had changing priorities, overlapping leadership direction, and an unclear decision making structure. Responsibilities shifted frequently, making it difficult to understand who owned decisions or how success would ultimately be measured. The schedule was also much different than I expected. Extended days became common almost immediately, including six and seven day workweeks. I understand startups require flexibility, but I did not see a clear plan for transitioning to a sustainable operating model. If you are interviewing for a leadership role at a startup account, ask detailed questions about the actual day to day responsibilities, authority to implement improvements, schedule expectations, and how performance will be evaluated during the first 90 days.
