Pros

Ryder is a big corporation with plenty of resources and structure. It is one of the most respected names in the Transportation Industry with a lot of name recognition. It is a great place to learn and their compensation and benefits are very competitive. You can have a great long term career at Ryder.

Cons

There is a lot of politics and bureaucracy and it is difficult to get things done, mainly because it is a functionalized corporation and there are issues with collaboration between them. Everyone looks out for their piece of the pie at the expense of the others. In the sales organization frontlines there is a saying, the internal sale is harder than selling to the customer..... That says a lot. The senior leadership of the company, although very capable, they are so disconnected from the reality of the field, that they are not able to make good strategic decisions about the business. The mid management group are a "bunch" of "Yes Men" for the most part and this is detrimental for the progress of the company. This is why there is no control over the business churn.

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.
