Pros

There were very few boring times at Hertz Airport Locations. The challenges of the business made for fast-paced and diverse experiences almost every day. A great emphasis was placed on the quality of the service each customer received. Employees had a surprisingly strong sense of "WE" in the success or failure of the Operation.

Pros

It is a decent place to work with a steady environment and meaningful day-to-day responsibilities. Overall, it's not a bad company to be a part of if you are looking for stability and purpose in your tasks.
