Pros

Ryder Inc. is a fairly good place to work albeit stressful for the amount of people employed and the constant workload to complete the assignment,

Cons

Overworked for the amount of workload, Constant pressure and small pay increases. When overtime is allowed to complete assignments for Ryder's benefit, Overtime is computed as 'Chinese' Overtime where the more total hours (including OT hours) worked lowers Lowers the $/hr. ie., Base Salary per 40 hr week is 600 (which = $15 per/hr). If I work 10 hrs OT then, 10 hours should be computed as 600 + (10 x 22.50 = 225 OT) = $825. Instead, Ryder computes the base hourly rate it as: 50 hours worked for the 600, therefore, the $/hr is computed as 600/50 = 12 $/hr. OT is then 12 $/hr (10 hrs x 10 OT hours = $120 OT = 600 Base is $720. Employee is cheated by $105 on this small Base Salary. In violation of FSLA.

Pros

You get to work on real supply chain problems that actually matter to operations, not just theoretical stuff. Remote flexibility is solid and the work-life balance is fair. The tech stack is modern (Snowflake, Azure, Power BI) and if you're someone who takes initiative, you'll get the chance to own things end-to-end. The people you work with day-to-day are genuinely good and most teams have a collaborative culture.

Cons

Growth from senior level and beyond can be painfully slow even when you're clearly doing the work above your role. Leadership and org changes happen often which resets your visibility and momentum with whoever is advocating for you. Some areas still lack clear ownership so things fall through the cracks or land on whoever is willing to pick them up. Pay doesn't always reflect the scope of what you're actually doing.
