Retail Sales Trainee

Retail Sales Trainee

This is a training role that is made to prepare the Retail Sales Trainee for the Retail Account Manager role. The role primarily is to support sales initiatives and effectively drive the sales business. The RST will work with management to maintain customer relationships between sales, marketing and operations for all non-contractual customers. The RST must effectively service all customers in a safe, productive and professional manner in compliance with Ryder standards. The Retail Sales Trainee (RST) is a training role. Upon successful participation in the training program, the RST is eligible to interview for open Retail Account Manager (RAM) roles. Upon completion of the program and certification, if no RAM or otherwise qualified role is available AND the RST is meeting performance standards, the employee may remain in the RST role up to 12-months OR until a RAM or another qualified role is available (whichever comes first). Once a RAM or another qualified role is available, the certified RST must interview for that available role. If promotion to the role of Retail Account Manager (or other role) does not happen prior to the expiration of the 12-mos completion period, the RST role will be vacated due to end of assignment unless an exception applies. For exception, based on continued high performance, no open roles and certification completion, a manager may extend the 12-month completion period an additional 6-months. The RST role is an at-will position, meaning that the Company or RST can terminate the employment relationship at any time, for any reason or no reason at all, with or without cause.
