Pros

Sales Experience is gained as long as you are a self starter as upper management is not that involved and support is rarely given. Employees get a company car at branch manager level position or higher. It is a decent stepping stone as it is a large well known company and you get some sales knowledge. The very best thing available is the possible contacts and references that you get from the people you meet that could help you get to the next level for your career. As you see many business people face to face and get to interact with them.

Cons

The flow of information throughout the company is horrible and the employees on the front line are not treated as importantly as they should be in the fact that they make the company go. Employees are forgotten and asked to do everything at the lower level. In fact had upper management request that we go repo a car after it was not returned. Asked them to explain seeing how trying to go get a car in a bad part of town and putting the employees at risk seemed a little out of the job description. In short, was told to just get it done.

Pros

Great place to work in tandem with other professionals in your trade, always had a feeling of "family" working alongside my peers. We come together when times are tough, this is very rewarding,

Cons

The current economic and geopolitical spectrum have been proving a challenge to this industry as a whole, thankfully we are a resilient outfit with the best people at the helm.

Pros

It's a job in a bad economy. Decent vacation time but no money to go anywhere.

Cons

Favoritism, nepotism. We used to get profit sharing now it goes wherever it goes. New commission structure is bad.Dollar thrifty and hertz are all one yet hertz does all dollars work while they make the money and close whenever they want. Customers are always aggressive and rude.sick time is unrealistic. If you have any condition you have to get fmla and the company they use always refuse it. ,yet somehow the people that aren't sick are always on fmla.
