Q&A With Ryder System Employees

When economy changes, company reviews what needs to change. Average about 3-4 yrs

Every year

Every so often depending on internal changes, if any.

Lot of favoritism when it comes to promotion. There people with title "Director" or " Group Director" with no one reporting

Certain IT departments are easier to be promoted in. In the Infrastructure area there seem to be less promotions than in the development side.

You can go to HR with a group of people to complain about a manager with a high turnover rate and nothing is done.

Timely, efficiently, and effectively

I feel that our future is bright. We are forever changing, growing, and rolling out with amazing options to help our customers save money and time so they can focus on their business while building relationships. We’ve been around since 1933, growing from 1 Truck. As the industry changes, so do we.

Have a great future been with Ryder for 18 years

All kinds, looking for competent people

Excellent if you put in the training or education to learn other items.

Depends on what department.

On boarding is a couple of days. It’s just going through the basics and giving login info. Continual training is offered throughout employment.

Bring back the mifi’s for sales / management. Half of my locations don’t have WiFi and I’m always on the road.

I feel all parts of the business are growing much quicker than Uses Vehicle Sales.

Understanding of the basics on operating a business and sales basics

Generally, from what I’ve seen, our interviews aren’t as uptight and usually flow well. We have questions we are required to ask but gives us a good perspective on how the interviewee’s thought process is or how they would handle a situation.

Take notes! Ask questions and don’t get discouraged if you make a mistake or feel lost. It takes a good 3-4 months to build the foundation for any new position, so if ever overwhelmed, stop, take a deep breath, slow down and go through whatever you’re working on, step by step.

Speak to others around you and ask for advice. People to talk to would be managers, those currently in the role being applied for or those who have already been in the role. Look into the duties of the role and also research anything available in our internal system.

Yes. This could be answered many different ways, based on our product lines offered, however, I’ll give a couple basic examples: - Changing teams could mean shifting locations or counters, meaning moving people who run the rental department, as an example, to another location. - Another example would be if the employee is new, they have to wait 12 months or if an employee past 12 months, you must be in role a minimum of 6 months in that product line, before a move to another product line - however, rules have exceptions. These exceptions are based per situation and must be approved by all management and directors involved.

Ryder is always looking for ways to offer more options with competitive pricing to assist our customers. We aim to have a solution for every need.

I enjoy the culture and working with everyone on my team.

I’ve never heard anyone say anything about Robert needing to change or improve on nor anything negative.

Amazing. I look forward going to work.

Laid back and family like

I thought it was great

The Director of Rental and the Sr. Rental Manager. I heard back with a few days

Flexible, no complaints

Research our company and what we offer as well as positions within the company. Have a sense of direction that you may want to work towards. Come in dressed business casual, be confident and well spoken. Keep in mind that any interview you go into, any meeting-first impressions mean a lot.

Those who work hard and prove themselves by taking on more responsibility in effort to understand the industry better as well as our operations, driven individuals who exude passion, being a team player, keeping positive, and showing that you’re in the best interest for Ryder.
