Tough environment at a shop

Pros

The pay is decent although I don't need the benefits so I can't speak for those.

Cons

The culture is rough in the shop environment. I'm was not a tech but rather worked in the service department as a OMT. Be very careful applying here. The program is good in theory but you're dealing with mechanics. The typical college grad will not enjoy this environment - myself included. I finally left because of the attitudes and lack of mentoring by management. You are put into the job and flounder and there is no real training. If you don't pick it up right away the supervisors get aggravated. The software is ancient and very glitchy. I know this sounds biased but I truly had no serious issues with the people here. I just have no desire to be apart of a toxic culture like this so I left after less than a year. I can't stress enough be very careful as a college grad applying for this.. If you can handle all the swearing, rudeness etc, you will be fine. I just couldn't do it after being around fantastic management at previous jobs.

Pros

Ryder works well on a resume for an entry level position. The pay is also not terrible. They provide a very professional work environment and up to date technology.

Cons

I've seen employees work 6am - all day - all night-they were there when I can back the next morning with the same clothes, unshaven-until 9pm the following night... As far as a work-life-personal health balance goes, there isn't one. They're expectations if you are salary, entry level logistics coordinator, working on a challenging account is that you stay anywhere from 50-90hrs in a week (non negotiable) with no lunch. They won't specifically tell you you can't take a lunch (that's illegal) but they will cater a small cheap unhealthy carb filled lunch and bring it to your desk. If you take an actual break you will be shunned for no less than 3 days. They also interrogate you when you get up to go to the restroom. The overtime pay actually decreases the more you accrue. (Roughly $6/hr once you've exceeded 50hrs.) The managers are unorganized. Some managers have no idea how to do what their employees are doing. So when someone calls in they are absolutely useless at taking the extra work load off their employees. And this may seem small but the inside of the building has no windows. It REALLY takes a toll on you not seeing the sun for months at a time. Consider that before taking this job. Oh and the snacks at the convenience area in the breakroom are expired.

Excellent team, good social environment, opportunities for advancement.

Secretive management, some work outsourced offshore, seniority can sometimes mask incompetence.
