Pros

Sundays off are a plus. We are only open for 3 hours on Saturdays but that is just enough to ruin your day and barely enough to make up for the gas to get there.

Cons

Mandatory OT; low pay; lack of organization and professionalism There is a "sell at any cost" attitude that makes you feel wrong for even hearing someone talk about it. It is a "good ol' boys" club and if you aren't part of it you go unrecognized unless you do somethign wrong. The only time anyone tried to put effort into really training me is when they were getting flack for not having any "promotions" in a long period of time. I have worked for and with a lot of big box companies. Hertz has a total lack of communication. Everything is disorganized and the management is unprofessional. I have had the area manager gossip/complain to me about my superiors. I could write a book about why I hate this job and why people shouldn't work here.

Pros

It is possible to make a difference if you are determined enough. Many engineers work hard and most try.

Cons

The company has a ton of tech debt that it recognized, but is not being addressed. Management controls the time, scope and so quality is falling. The people they have hired lack fundamentals understanding of software development practices. The company often will make decisions to save small amounts of money with their facilities and tools they give to employees without understanding the opportunity cost that was lost. Overtime is required. You can't work here if you want to have a family or keep your family from hating you. Title inflation is real. Many people are actually performing one level down from their stated title and those that are not are only not failing due to putting in crazy hours. Middle management wont stickup for their people to ensure they are not burning out. They see it happening multiple times in front of them and they do nothing.
