Pros

You have a job in lansing, in a poor job market. The people that you work with at your level. You can have a bond with your peers. Ryder the company was a good company to work for.

Cons

You are managed by fear and intimidation, you are not respected for your job knowledge or the job you do. You only see the upper management if you have something go wrong you are never recognized for a job well done. If you challenge the upper management, state a fact of the way it is, disagree with anything they say or do you are labeled as uncooperative and not with the program. They do not want supervisors that can think they just want them to do whatever they say and not question there decisions. There was a survey done and 65% of the supervisor said they would leave in the next two weeks if a similar job was available to them. The upper management did nothing with the survey even though they said they would. They have you work weeks on weekend without weekends off (customer is demanding this) however, when the customer is not working and you are looking for a break from weekends the upper management will make a manadatory weekend to cover some trivial item and not compensate you for your time. If you are a strong supervisor do not apply here you will not last they only want the weak supervisors.

Pros

Many jobs are available for transfer to if you are an operations employee. Time off is comparable to other companies in the industry. 401k and Tuition assistance programs are excellent.

Cons

Salary is 10-15% below average. Management only cares about appearance and not actual performance at HQ. Few transfers are available for finance employees. Upper level management turnover is high, which is to be expected with the level of compensation that is offered.

Pros

From personal experience, I learned alot within my first few years with the company. Speaking of now and it has been 9 year later, I come to work to get my paycheck. There is nothing else I can say in this catagory.

Cons

HR Department at Shared Services Center is unbelieveable, they care more about their friendships than you as a employee of the company. Management and Supervisors are not knowledgeable about the departments that they currently managing. If something does not go Management way, retailation occurs not only from management, but supervisors, hr manager, hr coordinator, and even security.
