Pros

I've been with Hertz a long 10 years. I love my Co-workers and I enjoy many parts of the job. The corporation gives both extreamly great benefits but also negativity. I love the company car, the pay is fair for the position, and bonuses are nice.

Cons

However we get these terrible surveys that are suppossed to rank the location but the customers are mad at corporate policy, 1800#, roadside ext. Yet at ground level we are to answer for it. They have a terrible outlook on how to book cars allowing customers to book and walk In for a vehicle you don't have on the lot. The regional GM is a joke, and I in general have always liked my bosses, so me saying he is a tool... really means he is a corporate pushing shell of a man. While COVID happened they made the worst most cost expense ideas leading to even more issues and dug a huge hole. Then to get out of it they punished the ground level employees with layoffs and location closures, gave senior management bonuses, then later reopened locations and just left those employees to struggle. What an awful company to work for. For someone with no morals and who love to take advantage of those corporate advantages then it's a great place, but if you care about ethics and people it's probably not for you. It will leave you feeling like an empty shell of a person being yelled at that your ruining peoples trips, vacations, day, week, so on just because the company doesn't care.

Pros

No micromagement , You earn incentives when customers forget to fill the gas , also when the car was damaged and they accept to pay , managers are nice , deal with Karen and difficult customers sometimes , rush hours where there is no room for cars but it is worth it

Cons

Fluctuate schedule you might work middle shift today , tomorrow you work early morning shift like 5AM and next day you work closing shift 1 to 9 PM. It is just bad for me because I just experienced personal household problem so I have only one car in the household so I had to leave

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.
