Pros

You are guaranteed 40 hours.

Cons

No organization. Sneaky and deceitful coworkers and managers. Watch your back. You share a truck with other drivers. Expect to start your shift with spilled coffees, leftover lunch stinking up the cab, and cigarette and alcohol smell and ashes all over the place. In general, other drivers don't take care of the trucks. You have to constantly be worried about damage to the truck being blamed on you. Management turns a blind eye to serious issues including safety. Ryder has a no retaliation policy but if you can't "do a favor" you will not be considered for OT. You will be overworked because there's no help. People call out all the time to avoid doing their route and management is aware. Their solution is to make you pick up the slack and they get the easy shift. The pay is not enough to be disrespected, taken advantage of, and overworked. OT doesn't cut it. Ryder has videos that everything is great and it's far from the truth. Employees threaten bodily harm to others and even to other motorists on the street and get to keep their jobs. The warehouse is a mess and expect to load and unload your truck because your coworkers and manager will hide in bathroom or have 20 smoke breaks when the drivers start/end their shift. Avoid at all costs unless you're desperate.

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.
